1 General Description
1.1 Introduction
This manual covers the G600 system, which includes the GDU 620 display, GDC 74A air data computer,
GRS 77 AHRS, GMU 44 magnetometer and GTP 59 temperature probe. This manual describes the
physical, mechanical and electrical characteristics, as well as instructions and other conditions and
limitations for installation and approval for all components of the G600 system. It is intended for use by
persons certified by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to install avionics. It includes installation
and checkout procedures for the G600 to standards described in Title 14 CFR Part 43.
1.2 Scope
This installation manual applies to the modification of an aircraft to support the installation of the G600
system and the required standby instruments. Interfacing to additional equipment is also covered by this
manual; however, the installation of such peripheral equipment (traffic / weather sensors, GPS, NAV,
autopilot systems, etc.) is not covered. Those systems require other installation data and approval.
The data contained within this manual is FAA approved under the G600 AML STC SA02153LA, which
is applicable for implementation within airplanes that are type certificated under the Civil Air Regulation
3/4 (CAR 3/4) or Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 23. Currently the STC data supports
aircraft identified via AC 23.1309-1C as Class I, II, or III. The G600 system installation covered by this
STC is not appropriate for Part 23 Commuter Category (Class IV), or Part 25 Transport Category aircraft,
nor is it appropriate for Part 27/29 Rotorcraft.
Installation of the G600 system in an aircraft imposes specific limitations which may affect the
operational capabilities of some aircraft, specifically RVSM compliance. Section 7 of this manual lists all
the Limitations of the STC, which should be carefully reviewed prior to any installation.
1.2.1 Approved Aircraft with Systems not Covered by the STC
Aircraft identified on the Approved Model List have been determined to meet a minimum required
configuration for applicability of the STC. However, since some of these aircraft may have been
modified over the years or may have been manufactured with systems which are not identified or
approved in this manual for integration with the G600, it may be difficult to use the data herein to
completely substantiate the installation in compliance with the STC. It is the installer’s responsibility to
make the final determination of applicability for each aircraft. Use Section 2 of this manual to assess
each installation prior to modifying any Type Certified aircraft to ensure the applicability of the G600
AML STC.
It is possible / permissible for installers and other appropriately certificated persons to seek approval for
installation and operational use of the G600 with systems not identified in this manual. It is the
responsibility of such persons to validate any compatibility and document any limitations of such
interfaces and to provide that data to the FAA for approval by means of a TC, STC, or Field Approval
prior to returning the aircraft to service.
1.2.2 Class I/II aircraft not identified on the AML
Aircraft identified via AC 23.1309-1C as Class I or II airplanes which are not identified on the G600
AML STC may be valid candidates for the G600 AML STC. Installers should contact Garmin Tech
Support with detailed drawings of the aircraft’s proposed installation. Engineering analysis may allow for
the inclusion of these aircraft in a future revision of the FAA Approved Model List.

G600 AML STC Installation Manual Page 1-1


190-00601-06 Rev. B
1.2.3 Class III Aircraft not Identified on the AML
Some aircraft identified via AC 23.1309-1C as Class III airplanes have been delayed inclusion on the
AML based upon additional data required by the Small Aircraft Directorate and Aircraft Evaluation
Group. Field Approvals for this class of aircraft should not be made; instead, installers or other
appropriately agencies should contact Garmin directly to develop the required data needed to support an
installation of this type under the STC.
1.2.4 Other Aircraft Not Covered by the G600 AML STC
Commuter Category Aircraft (Part 23 Class IV), Transport Category Aircraft (Part 25), and Rotorcraft
(Part 27/29) are not part of the G600 AML STC. The data in this installation manual and the components
of the G600 system have not been tested to operate under the standards specified for these types of
aircraft. Field Approvals for these aircraft should not be made.
1.2.5 Required Documentation for All Installations
Regardless of applicability of the AML STC or alternative field approval application for installation and
operational approval, prior to completing the installation and before returning the airplane to service, the
installer or other appropriately certificated person is required to complete and submit an FAA Form 337;
“Major Repair and Alteration Airframe, Powerplant, Propeller, or Appliance” to the appropriate FAA
Flight Standards District Office describing the work accomplished. The FAA Form 337 must detail the
equipment and systems to which the respective G600 System is interfaced and reflect appropriately
approved or acceptable data for which any follow-on FAA Field Approval is being sought. See AC 43.9-
1E for instructions for completing the FAA Form 337. In addition, the G600 Configuration and Checkout
Log must be completed and attached with the Instructions for Continued Airworthiness such that any
aircraft with the modifications detailed in this manual may be properly maintained.
1.3 G600 System Overview
The G600 system is designed to replace the standard “six-pack” instruments, along with any external
CDIs and ADF indicator. Standby instruments (ADI, airspeed indicator and altimeter) are required, and
these usually go in the locations vacated by the removed instruments. An overview of the G600 system is
shown in Figure 1-1 and Figure 1-2. Further detail on each of the LRUs is provided in the following
sections.

Rev. B 190-00601-06
1.3.1 G600 LRU Descriptions
GDU 620: The GDU 620 has dual VGA (640 x 480 pixels) 6.5-inch LCD
displays. The left side of the GDU is the primary flight display (PFD) and
the right side is the multi-function display (MFD). The PFD shows
primary flight information. The MFD shows navigation and flight plan
information, traffic, weather and terrain. An external configuration
module is used, so no configuration is required if the GDU 620 is replaced
for any reason.

GRS 77: The GRS 77 is an attitude, heading and reference unit, or


AHRS, that provides aircraft attitude and flight characteristics information
to the GDU 620. The unit contains advanced tilt sensors, accelerometers,
and rate sensors. In addition, the GRS 77 interfaces with both the
GDC 74A air data computer and the GMU 44 magnetometer. The GRS 77
also utilizes GPS signals sent from the GPS/WAAS navigator. Actual
attitude and heading information is sent using ARINC 429 digital
interface to the GDU 620.

GMU 44: The GMU 44 magnetometer senses magnetic field information.


Data is sent to the GRS 77 AHRS for processing to determine aircraft
magnetic heading. This unit receives power directly from the GRS 77 and
communicates with the GRS 77 using an RS-485 digital interface.

GDC 74A: The GDC 74A air data computer receives information from
the pitot/static system and the GTP 59 outside air temperature (OAT)
sensor. The GDC 74A is responsible for providing pressure altitude,
airspeed, vertical speed, and OAT information to the G600 system. The
GDC 74A provides data to the GDU 620 and GRS 77 using ARINC 429
digital interfaces. The GDC 74A also communicates maintenance and
configuration information to the GDU 620 using an RS-232 interface.

G600 AML STC Installation Manual Page 1-5


190-00601-06 Rev. B
1.3.2 Required GPS Navigator
At least one of the following WAAS/GPS navigators is required, although the G600 system will support
two independent navigators. For dual GDU 620 installations, two navigators are required (these do not
have to be the same navigators).
400W/500W Series: The 400W/500W Series unit is a panel-mount
WAAS/GPS navigator with a color moving map. Position and flight plan
data are displayed on the GDU 620 MFD via RS-232 and ARINC 429
interfaces. GPS position information is also forwarded to the GRS 77
AHRS in order to ensure normal AHRS operation. The GNS 430W/530W
also provides LOC/GS information for display on the GDU 620 HSI via
an ARINC 429 interface.

GNS 480: The GNS 480 unit is a panel-mount WAAS/GPS navigator /


with a built-in navigation receiver and a color moving map. Position and
flight plan data are displayed on the GDU 620 MFD via RS-232 and
ARINC 429 interfaces. GPS position information is also forwarded to the
GRS 77 AHRS in order to ensure normal AHRS operation. LOC/GS
information is provided on an ARINC 429 interface and displayed on the
GDU 620 HSI.
1.3.3 Required Standby Instruments
When the G600 system is installed, an independent attitude indicator, airspeed indicator and altimeter
must be installed. In many cases the existing instruments can be retained for use as standby instruments.
1.3.4 Optional Systems
SL30 NAV/COM: The GDU 620 can receive VOR/ILS information from an SL30 transceiver. The
lateral and vertical deviations from the navigation receiver can be displayed on the GDU 620 HSI.
Traffic Sensor: The GDU 620 can receive traffic information from various traffic sensors, including the
Garmin GTX 330/330D, Goodrich SkyWatch, Honeywell TAS/IHAS and Ryan TCAD. Traffic
information is received over an ARINC 429 interface, and optional control is provided using discrete(s).
All aural traffic alerts are still generated by the traffic system.
GDL 69/69A: The GDU 620 can receive data link information from the GDL 69/69A, which is an XM
Satellite Radio data link receiver that receives broadcast weather data. The GDL 69A is the same as the
GDL 69 with the addition of XM Satellite Radio audio entertainment. Weather data and control of audio
channel and volume is displayed on the GDU 620 MFD, via a High-Speed Data Bus (HSDB) Ethernet
connection. The GDL 69A is also interfaced to an audio panel for distribution of the audio signal.
ADF: The GDU 620 can receive bearing information from an ADF receiver. The ADF bearing
information can be displayed on the GDU 620 HSI on a pilot-selectable bearing pointer.

1.8 Databases
The GDU 620 utilizes various databases. With the exception of the Navigation database and IGRF model,
which reside internal to the GDU 620, all databases are stored on a single SD memory card that is
inserted into the bottom slot of the GDU 620. The following sections describe each database and how the
databases are updated.

CAUTION
The databases on the Supplemental Data Card are locked to specific GDU 620 displays.
The first time the Supplemental Data Card is inserted in a display it becomes “locked” to
that particular display and will not work in other displays.

1.8.1 Basemap Database


The basemap provides ground based references such as roads and bodies of water. The database is stored
in internal memory of the GDU 620 display. The basemap does not have a scheduled update cycle and as
such does not have an expiration date.
The basemap database is updated very infrequently. Should this database have to be updated in the
future, Garmin will provide details on how to load the updated data into the GDU 620.
1.8.2 Navigation Database
The Jeppesen Navigation Database provides the G600 system with the required information for
displaying flight plan information.
The GDU 620 utilizes a database stored on an SD memory data card for easy updating and replacement.
The Navigation database may be updated by simply inserting an updated Navigation database update card
into the top SD card slot in the front panel in the GDU 620. The actual database is downloaded into the
unit, so the card can be removed after the update. Each card will only update one system. Alternately, the
Navigation database may be updated by copying the database to the Garmin-supplied Supplemental Data
card. It will be downloaded into the GDU 620 on first use, and the file can be left on the Supplemental
Data card until the next update cycle.
The navigation database on the GDU 620 database card is generated from current Jeppesen Sanderson
data and converted to a format that is used by the GDU 620. The data conversion process is performed
using software that is developed and maintained under Garmin configuration management according to
RTCA/DO-200A, Standards for Processing Aeronautical Data.
GDU 620 users update their database card by purchasing database subscription updates from Garmin. The
database card is programmed using the supplied SD card reader. Contact Garmin at 800-800-1020 or
fly.garmin.com for more information and instructions.
1.8.3 FliteCharts Database
FliteCharts resemble the paper version of National Aeronautical Charting Office (NACO) terminal
procedures charts. The charts are displayed with high-resolution and in color for applicable charts. When
viewing these charts on the MFD, the aircraft position is not depicted on the chart.
The FliteCharts database is updated by removing the database card from the GDU 620, updating the
database on the card and reinserting the card. Each card can only be used with one system. GDU 620
users update their database card by purchasing database subscription updates from Garmin. The database
card is programmed using the supplied SD card reader. Contact Garmin at 800-800-1020 or
fly.garmin.com for more information and instructions.

G600 AML STC Installation Manual Page 1-13


190-00601-06 Rev. B
1.8.4 ChartView Database
ChartView resembles the paper version of Jeppesen terminal procedures charts. The charts are displayed
in full color with high-resolution. The MFD depiction shows the aircraft position on the moving map in
the plan view of approach charts and on airport diagrams. The ChartView database is stored on an SD
memory card that remains in the GDU 620 for normal operation.
The ChartView database is updated by removing the database card from the GDU 620, updating the
database on the card and reinserting the card. Each card can only be used with one system. GDU 620
users update their ChartView data by purchasing database subscription updates from Jeppesen Sanderson.
The database card is programmed using the supplied SD card reader and Jeppesen-provided software.
Contact Jeppesen at 800-621-5377 or www.jeppesen.com for more information and instructions.
ChartView is an optional feature that must be activated. Instructions for activating the ChartView
function are found in Section 5.5.5.1.
1.8.5 SafeTaxi Database
SafeTaxi diagrams provide detailed taxiway, runway, and ramp information at more than 700 airports in
the United States. The SafeTaxi database is stored on an SD memory card that remains in the GDU 620
for normal operation.
The SafeTaxi database is updated by removing the database card from the GDU 620, updating the
database on the card and reinserting the card. Each card can only be used with one system. GDU 620
users update their database card by purchasing database subscription updates from Garmin. The database
card is programmed using the supplied SD card reader. Contact Garmin at 800-800-1020 or
fly.garmin.com for more information and instructions.
1.8.6 Terrain and Airport Terrain Databases
The Terrain database is used to provide basic Terrain awareness functionality. The Airport Terrain
database provides higher resolution terrain information near most airports. Both databases are available
for updating as needed and are available from Garmin. The terrain databases are updated by removing the
database card from the GDU 620, updating the databases on the card and reinserting the card in the lower
card slot on the GDU 620 front panel. The Terrain databases can be downloaded via the internet and the
card programmed using the supplied SD card reader. Contact Garmin at 800-800-1020 or fly.garmin.com
for more information or instructions.
1.8.7 Obstacles Database
The obstacle database provides identification of known obstacles greater than 200 feet AGL. This
database is also used with Terrain awareness functionality. The Obstacle database is updated by
removing the database card from the GDU 620, updating the database on the card and reinserting the
card. The Obstacle database can be downloaded via the internet and the card programmed using the
supplied SD card reader. Contact Garmin at 800-800-1020 or fly.garmin.com for more information or
instructions.
1.8.8 IGRF Model
The IGRF (International Geomagnetic Reference Field) model is contained in the GRS 77 and is only
updated once every five years. The IGRF model is part of the Navigation Database. At system power-up,
the IGRF models in the GRS 77 and in the Navigation Database are compared, and if the IGRF model in
the GRS 77 is out of date, the user is prompted to update the IGRF model in the GRS 77. The prompt
will appear after the G600 splash screen is acknowledged on the MFD.

2.5 Installation Considerations
2.5.1 Minimum System Configuration
The minimum G600 installation requires the following items:
• GDU 620 Display
• GRS 77 AHRS
• GMU 44 Magnetometer
• GDC 74A Air Data Computer
• External GPS Navigation sensor: 400W/500W Series (software version 3.10 or later), or
GNS 480 (software version 2.2 or later)
In addition to the G600 equipment, standby instruments must be installed as described in Section 2.5.2.
2.5.2 Standby Instruments
When installing the GDU 620 in the instrument panel, a standby attitude indicator, airspeed indicator and
altimeter must be installed. Either two-inch or three-inch standby instruments may be used, depending
upon panel space constraints. The standby instruments must be located as described in Section 2.5.11.2.
For aircraft covered by this STC, installations with dual GDU 620s only require standby instruments by
the pilot (primary) GDU 620.

CAUTION
Only pneumatic airspeed indicators and altimeters may be used for standby instruments.
The original pneumatic air-driven ADI is acceptable for the standby ADI. If it is desired
to use an electric ADI, only those ADIs listed in Section E.1 can be used due to failure
criticalities and stringent environmental requirements consequent from the G600 AML
STC System Safety Analysis.
2.5.3 Placards and Labels
All placards and labels should be readable in all lighting conditions. Ambient flood lighting is acceptable.
2.5.3.1 New Labels
New circuit breakers and switches installed for the G600 system must be labeled as shown in the
applicable interconnect drawing in Appendix F. These labels are summarized in Table 2-4.

Rev. B 190-00601-06
2.5.3.2 Existing Placards
If an existing placard must be relocated because of the installation of the GDU 620, the new placard must
meet the requirements below:
• The font size of the new placard is the same as the old placard it is replacing
• The color of the new placard is identical to the color of the placard which it is replacing
• The text on the new placard is identical to the text on the placard which it is replacing (it can be
arranged differently as required by space constraints, but the wording must be the same)
2.5.4 Power Distribution
Circuit protection devices for the G600 LRUs must be push-pull manually resettable circuit breakers (e.g.
Klixon 7274 or 7277 Series circuit breakers).
For a single GDU 620 installation, the G600 equipment (GDU 620 display, GRS 77 AHRS and GDC 74A
air data computer) must be connected to a bus that receives power as soon as the battery master switch is
turned on. All G600 equipment must be connected to the same bus. If an electric standby ADI is used it
must also be connected to this bus (except in aircraft with multiple “essential” buses). If the aircraft has
multiple power buses, the G600 equipment and Standby ADI should be connected to the “essential” bus.
If there is more than one “essential” bus, the Standby ADI should be connected to a different “essential”
bus than the G600 equipment.

CAUTION
If there is a separate avionics power bus the G600 equipment and Standby ADI must
NOT be connected to this bus.
For a dual GDU 620 installation, the primary system (No. 1 GDU 620 display, No. 1 GRS 77 AHRS and
No. 1 GDC 74A air data computer) and electric Standby ADI must be connected as described for a single
GDU 620 installation. The secondary system (no. 2 GDU 620 display, no. 2 GRS 77 AHRS and no. 2
GDC 74A air data computer) may be connected to a “non-essential” bus or the avionics bus.

G600 AML STC Installation Manual Page 2-7


190-00601-06 Rev. B
2.5.5 Pitot-Static Plumbing
For a single GDU 620 installation, the pitot-static connections that originally went to the pilot's
instruments must go to the GDC 74A and standby instruments.
For a dual GDU 620 installation, the pitot-static connections that originally went to the pilot's instruments
must go to the GDC 74A that is connected to the pilot's GDU (i.e. ADC 1). The pitot-static connections
that originally went to the copilot's instruments must go to the GDC 74A that is connected to the copilot's
GDU (i.e. ADC 2). The standby instruments are installed near the pilot's GDU, so the pitot-static
connections that originally went to the pilot's instruments must also go to the standby instruments (i.e. the
same pitot-static plumbing that goes to ADC 1).
2.5.6 External Annunciators
The GDU 620 provides all of the necessary external annunciations for the GNS 400W/500W Series units
and the GNS 480, eliminating the need for an external annunciator panel. The GDU 620 also provides all
of the required TAWS annunciations for the 500W TAWS Series units and eliminates the need for a
TAWS annunciator panel.
2.5.7 External Course Deviation Indicators
The GDU 620 PFD is capable of displaying the lateral and vertical deviation from the GPS source(s) and
navigation receiver(s) in the aircraft. Based on the G600 System Safety Assessment, the G600 system
can be used as the sole display for all CDI information for Class I, Class II and Class III aircraft, allowing
the existing CDIs to be removed.
It is not recommended to use external CDIs in conjunction with the G600 system. If it is desired to utilize
one or more external CDIs, the CDI(s) can only be used to display VOR/ILS information. These must
be installed as specified below:
 GNS 430W/530W: The VOR/ILS Indicator Output or VOR/LOC composite output (and ILS
Glideslope deviations/flags) from P4006/P5006 must be used to drive an external CDI. Both
VOR and ILS information will be available (a resolver type indicator such as the Garmin GI
106A, or a composite indicator such as the Bendix/King KI 209 are supported).
 GNS 480: The Composite output from P7 must be used to drive an external CDI. Only VOR and
Localizer information can be displayed on the CDI. No vertical deviation information can be
displayed (a VOR/LOC composite indicator such as the Bendix/King KI 208 is supported).
 SL30: The Composite output and Glideslope deviations/flags must be used to drive an external
CDI. Both VOR and ILS information will be available (a VOR/ILS composite indicator such as
the Bendix/King KI 209 is supported).
Refer to Section 7 for associated Limitations.

Rev. B 190-00601-06
2.5.8 External Sensors
External serial data sources intended for use with the G600 system should be checked for compatibility
before installation. The list of supported devices is located in Appendix E of this manual.
When the G600 system is installed with external sensors, these sensors must be installed in accordance
with manufacturer's data. Installation of any external sensors not approved by this manual is beyond the
scope of this manual and STC.
2.5.8.1 GPS Navigator
Interfacing the GDU 620 to a GPS navigator is required for proper system operation. GPS information is
used by the GDU 620 for the moving map and forwarded to the GRS 77 AHRS. The GDU 620 supports
interfacing to two independent GPS navigators, although only one is required.
If a 500W Series with TAWS is used, it must be connected as GPS 1 – only TAWS annunciations from
GPS 1 are displayed on the PFD. If two TAWS-equipped units are installed, the TAWS-equipped unit
that is connected to the audio panel must be connected as GPS 1.
2.5.8.2 Navigation Receiver
Interfacing the GDU 620 to a navigation receiver allows VOR and ILS information to be displayed on the
PFD HSI. The GDU 620 supports interfacing to two independent navigation receivers.
2.5.8.3 Weather
2.5.8.3.1 Data Link Weather
Interfacing the GDU 620 to a GDL 69/69A allows XM weather data to be displayed on a dedicated
weather page or overlaid on the moving map.
2.5.8.3.2 Weather Radar (function not currently supported)
Interfacing the GDU 620 to an external weather radar system will allow weather radar information to be
displayed the GDU 620. Although the function is not currently supported, provisional wiring can be
installed at the time of G600 system installation.
2.5.8.4 Traffic
Interfacing the GDU 620 to a TIS/TAS traffic system allows traffic data to be displayed on a dedicated
traffic page or overlaid on the moving map. The GDU 620 can be configured to provide display of traffic
data only, or display and control of the traffic system.
NOTE
If the original installation has the traffic system configured to use a heading source other
than ARINC 429 (e.g. synchro), the traffic system must be rewired and reconfigured to
use ARINC 429 heading from the G600 system.

NOTE
If the original installation has the traffic system configured to use an altitude source other
than ARINC 429 (e.g. Gray Code), the traffic system must be rewired and reconfigured
to use ARINC 429 altitude from the G600 system.

NOTE
Only one traffic sensor may be interfaced to the G600 system (GDU 620).

G600 AML STC Installation Manual Page 2-9


190-00601-06 Rev. B
2.5.8.5 ADF
Interfacing the GDU 620 to an ADF receiver allows ADF bearing information to be displayed on a
bearing pointer on the PFD HSI and allows the existing ADF indicator to be removed.
The GDU 620/G600 will not control the ADF receiver.
2.5.8.6 Stormscope (function not currently supported)
Interfacing the GDU 620 to a Stormscope system will allow Stormscope information to be displayed the
GDU 620. The GDU 620 can be configured to provide display of Stormscope data only, or display and
control of the Stormscope system. Although the function is not currently supported, provisional wiring
can be installed at the time of G600 system installation.
NOTE
If the original installation has the Stormscope system configured to use a heading source
other than serial, the traffic system must be rewired and reconfigured to use RS-232
heading from the G600 system.
2.5.8.7 External TAWS (function not currently supported)
Interfacing the GDU 620 to an external TAWS system will allow TAWS information to be displayed the
GDU 620.
NOTE
The GDU 620 will not display terrain data from an external source; however, if a 500W
Series unit with TAWS is connected, the GDU 620 will display all of the required TAWS
annunciations from GPS 1 and eliminate the need for a separate TAWS annunciator
panel.

Rev. B 190-00601-06
2.5.9 Autopilot/Flight Director Interface
The G600 is designed to interface with a wide variety of autopilots. Autopilots intended for use with the
G600 system should be checked for compatibility before installation. The list of tested and supported
autopilots is located in Section E.3 of this manual.
When the G600 system is interfaced to an autopilot, the autopilot must be installed in accordance with
manufacturer's data. Installation of the autopilot system is beyond the scope of this manual and STC.
The G600 (GDU 620) can provide AC or DC heading and course datum (error) outputs based on the
setting of the heading bug and course pointer on the HSI. When enabled, the GDU can drive the heading
datum output based upon GPS steering (GPSS) information from the selected navigator, acting like a roll-
steering converter. An external HDG/GPSS switch is required to utilize the roll-steering conversion
feature (refer to Section 2.5.16). The GDU 620 also provides analog deviation outputs and associated
flags based upon the navigation source currently selected on the HSI and outputs ARINC 429 GPSS
information from the currently selected navigator.
2.5.9.1 Autopilot ADIs and Gyros
ADIs that interface with the existing autopilot on the aircraft will have to be relocated if located in the
installation location for the GDU 620. Because this instrument is supplying attitude information to the
autopilot, the ADI must be retained. It can be used as a standby instrument and be relocated to an
approved location for the standby instruments (refer to Section 2.5.11.2). Alternately, this ADI may be
relocated to the copilot’s side. If the ADI is relocated to the copilot’s side and it is desired to display
flight director information on it, this ADI must be installed in the approved location for the copilot ADI
(refer to Section 2.5.11.8). If the ADI used by the autopilot is an electric-driven gyro, in order to meet the
requirements of 2.5.11.2, the electric ADI should be relocated to the copilot’s side. A vacuum-driven or
suitable electric ADI (refer to Section 2.5.11.2.4.1) must then be installed as a standby instrument on the
pilot’s side. Any gyros that are required for proper operation of the ADI (e.g. for a KCI 310 ADI) must
also be retained. Remote gyros, such as the KVG 350, must be retained in order for the autopilot to
function properly.
2.5.9.2 Autopilot Turn Coordinators
Instrument panel mounted Turn Coordinators that interface with the existing autopilot on the aircraft will
have to be retained and might have to be relocated. Due to space constraints it may be necessary to blind
mount the turn coordinator. The installer must ensure that the relocated Turn Coordinator is installed in
accordance to its installation manual for panel incline and other applicable requirements.
2.5.9.3 Altitude Pre-Selector and Remote Annunciators
The G600 may provide the altitude pre-selector function to an autopilot (For Interface requirements and
approved autopilot models for this function see Section E.3). If the G600 is configured to provide the
altitude pre-selector functions, the original altitude pre-selector must be removed. Autopilots that use
altitude pre-selectors that also function as a remote annunciator for the autopilot are not supported in the
G600 AML STC. Remote annunciators must not be removed, and if relocated must meet manufacturer
requirements for installation.
2.5.9.4 ADIs with Integral Flight Director Presentation
In some cases an ADI that must be retained to provide attitude information to the autopilot has an integral
flight director presentation (e.g. the KI 256 ADI). If this ADI is used as a standby instrument for the
G600, the flight director presentation must be disabled. If this ADI is relocated to the copilot’s side, the
flight director presentation may be left enabled provided that the location requirements in Section 2.5.11.8
are met.

G600 AML STC Installation Manual Page 2-11


190-00601-06 Rev. B
2.5.10 Part 121/Part 135 Considerations
For certain aircraft operated under Part 121 or Part 135, a third attitude source is required. Aircraft
requiring the third attitude source are described in 14 CFR § 121.2 and 14 § CFR 135.2. This third
attitude source may be a second gyroscopic attitude indicator or a second G600 system, and it must meet
the requirements of 14 CFR § 121.305(k).
Single-engine aircraft operated under Part 121 or Part 135 must have two independent electrical sources
or a standby battery or generator/alternator capable of supplying 150% of the electrical loads of all
required instruments and equipment necessary for emergency operations of the aircraft for 60 minutes in
accordance with 135.163(f). For multi-engine aircraft operated under Part 121 or Part 135 the electrical
load of all required instruments and equipment necessary for emergency operations must not be greater
then one-half of the total generated power in accordance with 135.163(g). The definition of the electrical
loads that are “required instruments and equipment necessary for emergency operations” should be
expanded to include the pilot’s GDU 620, GRS 77, and GDC 74A.
2.5.11 Mounting Considerations
2.5.11.1 GDU 620 Location and Mounting
The GDU 620 is designed to mount on the aircraft instrument panel in place of the existing primary
instruments. The location must be such that the GDU 620 is not blocked by the glare shield on top, or by
the control yoke on the bottom.
The FAA has determined that the acceptable installation location for the GDU 620’s ADI shall not
dramatically differ from the location of the original type certificated (TC’d) ADI. Consequently, the
GDU 620’s ADI, when installed, must intersect the original TC’d ADI.
The GDU 620 ADI area is defined as the top section of the left screen (PFD), as shown in Figure 2-1.

G600 AML STC Installation Manual Page 2-13


190-00601-06 Rev. B
Some installations of the GDU 620 will require the use of one of the GDU 620 trim plates provided with
the GDU 620 installation kit. The trim plates are manufactured plates which can be used for cosmetic
appeasement or structural support. Refer to Section 3.2.1 for additional information on the use of the trim
plate. Due to the extent of the modifications required for some installations, it may be easier to replace the
instrument panel entirely. Refer to Section 2.5.11.3 for a list of items to consider when deciding whether
or not to replace the instrument panel.
2.5.11.2 Standby Instrument Location
The FAA has determined that the acceptable location of the standby instruments is directly adjacent to the
GDU 620 (to the right, to the left, below, diagonal, or above). In cases in which the instrument panel is
stepped, 3 1/8 inch standby instruments may be located on the stepped part of the instrument panel as
long as there are no instruments located in between the GDU 620 and the standby instrument. Standby
instruments must be located entirely within the area defined in Sections 2.5.11.2.1, 2.5.11.2.2 or
2.5.11.2.3.
If the standby instruments are arranged vertically, the preferred order is:
• Attitude Indicator (top)
• Airspeed Indicator
• Altimeter (bottom)
If it is not possible to place the attitude indicator on top due to space constraints, an alternate arrangement
for vertically arranged instruments is:
• Airspeed Indicator (top)
• Attitude Indicator
• Altimeter (bottom)
If the standby instruments are arranged horizontally, the preferred order is:
• Airspeed Indicator (left), Attitude Indicator, Altimeter (right)
If it is not possible to arrange the standby instruments vertically or horizontally, as described above, any
order for standby instruments is acceptable, provided they are located entirely within the specified area.

In most cases the previously certified ADI, Airspeed Indicator and Altimeter can be used as standby
instruments. These instruments can be installed in pre-existing mounting locations for instruments that are
no longer required because their functions are replaced by the G600 system (e.g. VORs, CDIs, ADF
bearing pointers, RMIs, etc.). If the previously certified ADI is electric powered, it must be replaced
with an ADI listed in E.1. All pneumatic ADIs are acceptable for standby instruments and do not require
replacement.
In some installations it may be desirable to locate one or more standby instruments in the bolster
immediately below the instrument panel. Refer to Section H.2 in Appendix H for information on how to
do this.
2.5.11.2.1 Acceptable Area for 3 1/8” Standby Instruments
If all three standby instruments are 3 1/8”, the instruments must be located entirely within the area
outlined in Figure 2-4 and Figure 2-5.

In some installations it may be desired to use 3 1/8” standby instruments, but there is insufficient space to
accommodate such an arrangement. Consequently, some 2 1/4” instruments may be used. If both 2 1/4”
and 3 1/8” standby instruments are used, the instruments must be located entirely within the area outlined
in Figure 2-7.

2.5.11.2.4.1 Electric ADI
The model 4300-4( ) (3 1/8 inch) and 4200-( ) (2 1/4 inch) are currently the only electric standby attitude
indicators that may be installed as standby attitude instruments under the G600 AML STC; all non-
electric attitude indicators are acceptable and do not need to be replaced. The 4300-4( ) with the internal
backup battery and the 4200-( ) with the required remote mounted MD420-Emergency Power Supply
have the ability to continue to operate in excess of 30 minutes (in accordance with FAR 23.1353(h)) in
the event aircraft electrical power is lost and have been tested to meet the reliability and environmental
conditions required by the G600 AML STC.

NOTE
The Mid-Continent model 4200-( ) (2 ¼ inch) ADI requires the use of the MD420
Emergency Power System, which must be mounted separately.

2.5.11.2.4.2 2 ¼ Inch Instruments


For G600 installations that require 2 1/4 inch standby instruments, an altimeter and airspeed indicator
may be purchased as a package with the 4200-( ) ADI from Mid-Continent Instruments. Refer to
Appendix E for acceptable model numbers. Contact Mid-Continent Instruments for ordering instructions
to obtain an airspeed indicator with markings applicable to aircraft.

2.5.11.3 New Instrument Panel Considerations
Some installations may require deviations from the original layout that will result in a substantial amount
of panel modifications, e.g. moving the standby instruments by one-half inch in any direction would
require modification of the original cutouts and therefore modification of the original panel may not be
adequate due to cosmetic and structural issues. In such cases, a blank panel is preferred and may be
manufactured.
NOTE
Blank instrument panels may be manufactured for any aircraft on the Approved Model
List. These panels shall not be part of the primary structure of the aircraft.
A new panel, whether newly manufactured or purchased from the aircraft manufacturer, must comply
with the following requirements:
• Material shall be the same thickness and type as the original instrument panel (with a minimum
thickness of 0.063”).
• Use sheet metal techniques (bend radius, fillets…) appropriate to the material thickness and
hardness type – refer to AC 43.13-1B, Chapter 4, Section 4 (Metal Repair Procedures).
• Material shall have some type of corrosion protection (primer, alodine …).
• The original mounting locations, shape, form, and/or bends shall not be modified from the
original design.
• Bends in the material must conform to the minimum bend specification of the material used.
• OEM processes may allow for tighter bends (e.g. a ‘soft’ material is formed then heat treated to
increase hardness).
• Panels shall not be combined (i.e. an original two-piece panel cannot be combined to create a
single-piece panel). Likewise, panels shall not be split (e.g. creating a two-piece panel from a
single-piece panel).
NOTE
Instrument panels are often more than a single piece of aluminum: they are an assembly
with other brackets and components permanently or semi-permanently attached to the
main panel. For example, angles may have been riveted to create attach points for other
pieces of equipment (such as the radio rack) or they may be used to resist bending of the
panel due to weight and center of gravity of the instruments; brackets or channels may
exist to create additional attach points to the aircraft. The new instrument panel must not
alter the design of the instrument panel assembly features from the original design. These
features must be duplicated in the new panel structure.
NOTE
The only intended differences between the new instrument panel assembly and the old
are the cutout for the GDU 620 display unit and the location of the standby instruments.
Every other feature of the panel, including aspects of the structure invisible to the pilot,
must be duplicated. Modification of the instrument panel that will not comply with these
requirements is not approved under this STC.
Page 2-18 G600 AML STC Installation Manual
Rev. B 190-00601-06
The GDU 620 must intersect the original certified ADI as specified in the GDU 620 location and
mounting (see Section 2.5.11.1). Since there is some freedom on the position of the GDU 620 in such a
case, it is preferred to have the GDU 620 PFD as close to top center as possible without compromising
the area required for the standby instruments or other indicators. Also, review the requirements for the
standby instruments prior to finalizing their location. Whenever manufacturing a new panel, verify that
all requirements in the following sections are met to ensure proper installation:
• GDU 620 Location, Section 2.5.11.1
• Standby Instrument Location, Section 2.5.11.2
When fabricating a new instrument panel, movement or consolidation of additional instruments or engine
gauges may be needed in order to achieve the desired panel layout. However, this is beyond the scope of
the G600 STC and will require additional aircraft manufacturer’s data or FAA approval.
When fabricating a new instrument panel, lighting for existing items that are retained must be considered.
However, this is beyond the scope of the G600 STC and will require additional aircraft manufacturer’s
data or FAA approval.
Compound curves and tooled bends formed into the instrument panel may not be easily replicated in the
field. The installer should consider contacting the aircraft manufacturer for a panel blank or modifying
the existing panel with a flat plate overlay conforming to the guidelines of this installation manual. Any
overlay should be secured to the original panel as if it were a structural repair in accordance with AC
43.13-1B, Chapter 4 Section 4.
2.5.11.4 GRS 77 Location and Mounting
The GRS 77 includes extremely sensitive inertial measurement sensors. It must be mounted rigidly to the
aircraft primary structure. Do not use shock mounting. Shock mounts used for other types of inertial
systems are not acceptable for the GRS 77 AHRS. The mounting system must have no resonance with the
unit installed that would amplify the aircraft natural levels. Vibrations may result in degraded accuracy.
The installation vibration levels are checked using the Engine Run-Up Vibration Test in Section 5.6.5.
Some metal structures of the GRS 77 may become magnetized if closely exposed to permanent magnets.
While this will not affect the GRS 77 itself, it may slightly affect nearby magnetic instruments in the
aircraft (e.g. whiskey compass). Ordinary use of magnetic screwdrivers to tighten the GRS 77 fasteners
will not cause problems, but non-magnetic screwdrivers are preferred. Avoid placing the GRS 77 within
one inch of magnetically mounted antennas, speaker magnets, or other strongly magnetic items. The
GRS 77 must be mounted in a serviceable location in the aircraft (e.g. accessible through an access panel.
Installation in an unpressurized area of a pressurized aircraft is acceptable.
Under baggage compartments or under the cockpit floor may be good mounting locations providing the
floor attachments meet the strength requirements. Avoid unprotected areas on or near the main cabin,
where the GRS 77 may be kicked or damaged by people or baggage placed in the aircraft. The GRS 77
must be mounted in a serviceable location in the aircraft (e.g. accessible through an access panel).
Installation in an unpressurized area of a pressurized aircraft is acceptable.
The GRS 77 must be mounted within 13 feet (4.0 meters) longitudinally and 6.5 feet (2.0 meters) laterally
of the aircraft center of gravity. The mounting location for the GRS 77 should be protected from rapid
thermal transients, in particular, large heat loads from nearby high-power equipment.
The GRS 77 must be leveled to within 3.0° of the aircraft level reference. The aircraft leveling procedure
described in Section 5.6.1 must be carried out prior to flight.
The GRS 77’s forward direction must be aligned in heading to within 1.0° of the aircraft forward
direction. (The arrow symbol on the rack points forward.)

190-00601-06 Rev. B
2.5.11.5 GMU 44 Location and Mounting
The GMU 44 is an extremely sensitive three-axis magnetic sensor. It is more sensitive to nearby magnetic
disturbances than a flux gate magnetometer. For this reason, when choosing a mounting location for the
GMU 44, it is recommended that the minimum distances specified in Table 2-5 be observed. In the event
that all of the minimum distances cannot be observed, Table 2-5 also specifies magnetic disturbances to
avoid in order of priority. The chosen location must be surveyed prior to installation of the GMU 44
to verify its acceptability (refer to Section 3.2.4.3). Section 6.1 provides guidance on troubleshooting the
GMU 44 magnetometer location. Acceptable locations are shown in Figure 2-8.

NOTE
If mounting the GMU 44 in the location used by an existing flux valve or flux gate, the
Magnetic Interference Survey (Section 3.2.4.3) MUST STILL BE SUCCESSFULLY
COMPLETED. Although the location may have been satisfactory for a flux valve or flux
gate, it may not be acceptable for the GMU 44.

NOTE
If planning to reuse the existing flux valve or flux gate wiring for the GMU 44, it must be
verified that the existing wiring meets the requirements specified for the GMU 44 (i.e.
same number of shielded conductors, minimum wire AWG, equivalent wire type, etc.). In
many cases the existing wiring will have to be replaced.

Table 2-5. Magnetic Disturbances

Disturbance Source Priority Distance
Electric motors and relays, including servo motors 1 10 feet (3.0 meters)
Ferromagnetic structure greater than 1 kg total (iron, steel, or 2 8.2 feet (2.5 meters)

Ferromagnetic materials less than 1 kg total, such as control 3 3 feet (1.0 meter)
cables
Any electrical device drawing more than 100 mA current 4 3 feet (1.0 meter)
Electrical conductors passing more than 100 mA current (may 5 3 feet (1.0 meter)
require to be twisted shielded pair if within close proximity to
GMU 44)
Electrical devices drawing less than 100 mA current 6 2 feet (0.6 meter)
Magnetic measuring device (e.g. installed flux gates, even if not 7 2 feet (0.6 meter)
powered)
Electrical conductors passing less than 100 mA current (May 8 1.3 feet (0.4 meter)
require to be twisted shielded pair if within close proximity to
GMU 44)

Ensure that any electrical conductor that comes within close proximity (approximately three feet) of the
GMU 44 is installed as a twisted shielded pair, not a single-wire conductor (if possible, the shield should
be grounded at both ends).
Use nonmagnetic materials to mount the GMU 44, and replace any magnetic fasteners within 20 inches
with nonmagnetic equivalents (e.g. replace zinc-plated steel screws used to mount wing covers or
wingtips with nonmagnetic stainless steel screws.)

Page 2-20 G600 AML STC Installation Manual


Rev. B 190-00601-06
In general, wing mounting of the GMU 44 magnetometer is strongly preferred. If wing mounting is not
possible, it may be necessary to install the GMU 44 in the tail section of the aircraft. Fuselage mounting is
permitted, but NOT within two feet of the cabin area because of numerous potential disturbances that can
interfere with accurate operation. Refer to Figure 2-7. If the GMU 44 is mounted within the fuselage, a
structural validation of the GMU 44 mount is required, as described in Section 3.3.
The GMU 44 must be mounted in a serviceable location in the aircraft (e.g. accessible through an access
panel). Installation in an unpressurized area of a pressurized aircraft is acceptable.

acceptable in combination with the Post Installation Heading Compensation procedure described in
Section 5.6.4. It is strongly preferred that the GMU 44 alignment is as aligned as close as possible to the
aircraft longitudinal axis. Refer to Figure 2-10.

2.5.11.5.1 Considerations for Wing Grounded Light Fixtures
The following installation practices are recommended when installing the GMU 44 in the wing.
1. The wing tip lights should not have a power ground referenced to the chassis of the light
assembly that would then be referenced back to the airframe ground via the light assembly
mounting.
2. A dedicated power ground should be used and returned as a twisted pair with the power source
back into the fuselage for a wing mounted GMU 44.
These installation practices will prevent magnetically interfering currents from flowing in the wing skin
that encloses the GMU 44. Electrically isolating the light assembly should not be used as an alternative to
item 1 above, unless the isolated light assembly has been analyzed for adequate protection against direct
effects of lightning.
2.5.11.6 GDC 74A Location and Mounting
The GDC 74A can be installed in any section of the aircraft’s fuselage or the forward equipment bay for
multi-engine aircraft. The GDC 74A must be mounted in a serviceable location in the aircraft (e.g.
accessible through an access panel). Installation in an unpressurized area of a pressurized aircraft is
acceptable. It is recommended to install the GDC 74A as close to the pitot static lines as possible to avoid
running long pitot static lines throughout the aircraft fuselage.
The GDC 74A can be oriented in any position from horizontal to 45° past vertical. Figure C-7 and
Figure C-8 show the acceptable range of GDC 74A mounting orientation.
The GDC 74A has two ports that are connected to the aircraft’s pitot pressure source and static pressure
source. The two ports are labeled on the unit (refer to Figure 2-11). The pressure ports have 1/8-27 ANPT
female threads. The mating fitting must have 1/8-27 ANPT male threads.

PITOT AIR PORT

STATIC AIR PORT

Figure 2-11. GDC 74A Air Hose Fitting Locations

Use appropriate air hoses and fittings to connect the pitot and static lines to the unit. Avoid sharp bends
and routing near aircraft control cables. The GDC 74A should not be at the low point of the pitot or static
plumbing lines, to avoid moisture or debris collecting at or near the unit. Ensure that no deformations of
the airframe surface have been made that would affect the relationship between static air pressure and true
ambient static air pressure for any flight condition. Refer to Part 43, Appendix E for approved practices
while installing hoses and connections.

2.5.11.7 GTP 59 Location and Mounting
In general, the GTP 59 may be mounted on any location on the aircraft skin as long as it is kept away
from heat sources, e.g. exhaust, engine cowlings, etc. The GTP 59 is designed to protrude through the
aircraft skin. Refer to Figure 2-12 and Figure 2-13 for acceptable locations for the GTP 59 temperature
probe.
The GTP 59 OAT probe has no icing protection. If ice accumulates on the GTP 59 OAT probe, its
accuracy is unknown. Consequently, air temperature measurements may be incorrect if ice accumulates
on the probe. Furthermore, computations dependent upon air temperature measurements may be affected
(e.g. true airspeed and delta-ISA)
It is recommended that the GTP 59 be mounted on the bottom of the wing near an access panel.

2.5.11.8 Copilot ADI with Flight Director – Location
In some installations it may be desired to install an ADI with a flight director on the copilot’s side (e.g. an
ADI with a flight director that must be retained to for proper autopilot operation, such as the KI 256, is
being relocated to the copilot’s side). If it is desired to relocate this ADI to the copilot’s side and retain
the flight director presentation, this ADI must intersect the copilot’s primary view centerline as shown in
Figure 2-13A.

2.5.12 Cable and Wiring Considerations


Wiring should be installed in accordance with AC 43.13-1B Chapter 11. When wire separation cannot be
achieved, the following issues should be addressed:
• The cable harness should not be located near flight control cables, high electrical capacity lines or
fuel lines
• The cable harness should be located in a protected area of the aircraft
• Do not route cable near high-energy sources

Page 2-26 G600 AML STC Installation Manual


Rev. B 190-00601-06
2.5.12.1 HIRF Considerations
In order to meet the HIRF requirements the wiring must comply with the following:
• The length of wires between the G600 LRUs must not exceed 10.8 ft (3.3 m) unless otherwise
specified in Table 2-6.
• The length of shield drain connections at the G600 LRU connectors must not exceed 3.0”.
Table 2-6. Maximum Wire Lengths
From LRU To LRU Maximum Length
GDU 620 PFD/MFD GRS 77 AHRS 21.6 ft (6.6 m)
GDC 74A ADC GTP 59 Temperature Probe 32.5 ft (9.9 m)
GRS 77 AHRS GMU 44 Magnetometer 43.3 ft (13.2 m).
GRS 77 AHRS GDC 74A ADC 21.6 ft (6.6 m)

2.5.12.2 Pressurized Aircraft Considerations


In Pressurized Aircraft, wiring that penetrates the pressure vessel must be installed in accordance with the
Type Design of the aircraft. Any wires that penetrate the pressure bulkhead must use existing provisions
such as spare pins in the existing bulkhead connectors, or existing sealed wire thoroughfares in
accordance with the aircraft maintenance manual.
Substantiation for additional holes in the pressure vessel is beyond the scope of this manual and would
require additional data from the aircraft manufacturer or other FAA approved data.
2.5.13 Cooling Requirements
The GDU 620 has two cooling fans integrated into the bottom of the chassis to supply forced-air cooling
to the unit. The mounting configuration should not restrict intake airflow into the fans at the bottom of the
display, or exhaust airflow from the ducts at the top of the display.
2.5.14 Magnetic Compass Recalibration
After reconfiguring the avionics in the cockpit panel recalibrate the compass and make the necessary
changes for noting correction data.
2.5.15 RVSM Considerations
Aircraft operating at or above RVSM published altitudes will not meet the RVSM requirements with the
G600 installation as outlined in this manual. RVSM compliance may be a future enhancement of the
G600 system.
2.5.16 GPSS (Roll Steering) Considerations
The G600 system can support autopilots using ARINC 429 GPSS, or act as a roll-steering converter by
providing analog GPSS information via its heading datum/error output.
2.5.16.1 ARINC 429 GPSS
The G600 (GDU 620) has an ARINC 429 output that can be connected to autopilots that are capable of
utilizing ARINC 429 GPSS information. On the AUTOPILOT ARINC 429 output, the GDU 620
forwards GPSS information from the navigator (1 or 2) that is currently selected on the GDU 620 CDI –
there is no need to provide external switching. For installations with autopilots that accept 429 GPSS
(e.g. S-TEC 55X and Honeywell (Bendix-King) KFC 225) an external GPSS switch is NOT required.
2.5.16.2 G600 Roll Steering Converter Function
The GDU 620 can act as a roll-steering converter. It will receive the ARINC 429 GPSS information from
the selected navigator (1 or 2) and translate it to a heading error. The GPSS Enable In* discrete input
(P6201-8) may be used to control the GPS Steering (roll steering) function of the GDU 620. If GPSS

G600 AML STC Installation Manual Page 2-27


190-00601-06 Rev. B
Enable In* (P6201-8) is grounded, the GDU 620 heading datum (error) output will be driven based upon
ARINC 429 GPSS information. If this input is open, the GPSS function will be disabled and the heading
datum output will be based upon the setting of the heading bug.
For installations that utilize the GDU 620 as a roll-steering converter, an external GPSS switch is required
(refer to Figure F-19 in Appendix F). The autopilot must be in HDG mode to use the GDU 620 for
GPSS.

In general, most six-pack instrument configurations usually consist of, but are not limited to, the primary
instruments - airspeed indicator, attitude indicator, altimeter, horizontal situation indicator
(HSI)/directional gyro (DG), vertical speed indicator, and turn coordinator. An ideal six-pack would have
the instruments configured so that they are aligned both vertically and horizontally with each other,
evenly spaced and adjacent to one another (Figure 3-1). Other six-pack instrument configurations consist
of the same primary instruments but with the instruments scattered and/or not aligned on the instrument
panel (Figure 3-2).

For any instrument panel, installation of the GDU 620 is not limited to the use of cutouts for the primary
instruments. Any combination of the original cutouts for any instrument may be used as long as the
GDU 620 location satisfies the ADI intersect criteria (see Section 2.5.11.1). For example, in Figure 3-2
and Figure 3-3 , the VOR indicator cutouts are used in conjunction with the adjacent primary instruments
cut outs for the GDU 620 installation.

Using the airspeed and turn coordinator cutouts for the GDU 620 installation in this example would have
caused a challenging installation, both structurally and cosmetically.
3.2.1.2 Installation Considerations
Prior to any alteration, consideration should be given to the placement of the standby instruments (see
Section 2.5.11.2 for information regarding the location of standby instruments).
Installation of the GDU 620 requires an instrument panel with a minimum thickness of 0.063” to satisfy
structural requirements. Ensure that there is sufficient clearance for connectors and wire harness on the
GDU 620, as shown in Figure 3-4.

Remove all instruments required to facilitate the installation of the GDU 620. Temporarily fasten the
GDU 620 Cutout Template P/N 115-01010-00 on the instrument panel and transfer the GDU 620 LRU
outline using the outside edges of the cutout pattern. Also mark the location of the six GDU 620
mounting holes. Remove the template. See Appendix C for cutout template dimensions and reference
features.

G600 AML STC Installation Manual Page 3-5


190-00601-06 Rev. B
3.2.1.4 Trim Plate Considerations
A combination of nut plates and screws are used to secure the GDU 620 to the instrument panel. On most
aircraft installations with an ideal six-pack configuration, all six nut plates can be riveted to the
instrument panel itself. On other aircraft, due to pre-existing cut outs for the original instruments, lack of
material on the instrument panel may inhibit installation of nut plates to the instrument panel. Each
installation must be evaluated as follows:
1. If all nut plates can be installed to the instrument panel, use the thin trim plate P/N 115-01009-00.
2. If one or two nut plates cannot be installed on the instrument panel due to insufficient material:
a) It may be possible to install “patches” to the instrument panel. Refer to Appendix H for
information on determining whether or not it would be acceptable to use patches. If all six
nut plate locations can be accommodated with nut plates on the instrument panel or patches
(2 maximum), the thin trim plate P/N 115-01009-00 may be used. It is also acceptable to use
the thick trim plate P/N 115-01009-10 if it is not desired to use patches.
b) If (a) above cannot be met, the thick trim plate P/N 115-01009-10 must be used.
3. If three or more nut plates cannot be installed on the instrument panel due to insufficient material,
the thick trim plate P/N 115-01009-10 must be used.
NOTE
If all of the nut plates can be installed onto the instrument panel and no existing cutouts
are visible when the GDU 620 is installed, it is not necessary to install any trim plate.

3.2.1.5 Trim Plate Installation (if required)

NOTE
If installing nut plates onto the trim plate it may be necessary to cut out additional
material from the instrument panel in order to provide clearance for the attachment of the
nut plate to the trim plate.

After it is decided which trim plate is to be used (thin or thick), determine the size of the trim plate and
cut it to the required size and pattern. Refer to Appendix C for the dimensions of the trim plates that are
furnished with the G600 installation kit.

NOTE
Do not permanently install the trim plate to the instrument panel until the GDU 620
installation hardware (nutplates) has been installed on the instrument panel and/or on the
thick trim plate.

Determine locations of fasteners or rivets for securing the trim plate to the instrument panel and the GDU
620 nut plates in accordance with the requirements in Figure 3-5, Figure 3-6, and Figure 3-7.

NOTE
The thin (0.032”) trim plate can float on the instrument panel. Rivets or fasteners to
secure the thin trim plate P/N 115-01009-00 to the instrument panel are optional. The
installation of the GDU 620 will secure the trim plate in place.

If attaching the nut plates to the instrument panel, use the Cutout Template P/N 115-01010-00 as a guide
to drill out the holes for the nut plate position. Remove the Cutout Template and install the required nut
plates on the instrument panel and, if required, on the trim plate. Once all six of the GDU 620 nut plates
have been installed, permanently install the trim plate, if required.

In Figure 3-11 the instrument panel bolster was modified to accommodate two of the standby instruments.
Refer to Appendix H for details on modifying the bolster to accommodate standby instruments.
Some instrument panels may require additional modifications to address non-standard size instruments
(e.g. the KI 256 ADI). Refer to Appendix H for additional information.
Due to space constraints, some installations may require the use of 2 1/4 inch instruments for backup
instruments. Previously certified 2 1/4 inch instruments may be used as long as they are pneumatic. If
using an electric attitude indicator, the Mid-Continent 4200-( ) (2 1/4 inch display) electric attitude
indicator with the MD240-battery backup must be used. For airspeed and altitude indicators, Mid-
Continent provides a package of 2 1/4 inch instruments in combination with the specified attitude

3.2.3 GRS 77 AHRS Location and Mounting
Considering the placement information contained in Section 2.5.11.4, determine a suitable location for the
GRS 77. The GRS 77 should be mounted to a surface known to have sufficient structural integrity to
withstand additional inertial forces imposed by the GRS 77 unit and any related components. For
reference, the GRS 77 with Mounting Rack weighs 3.5 lbs and the addition of the GRS 77 Universal
Mount increases the weight to 4.55 lbs. Use of additional brackets or supplemental support structure will
also increase weight.
Table 3-1 provides an overview of possible GRS 77 mounting options for installation with and without
the GRS 77 Universal Mount. Each option references a subsequent section where further details and
considerations may be found. Furthermore, Section 3.2.3.1 identifies conditions that must be met for
every GRS 77 installation, regardless of use of the GRS 77 Universal Mount.

Table 3-1. Overview of Possible GRS 77 Mounting Options with GRS 77 Universal Mount
Installation of GRS 77 Universal Mount (Typical)
Description:
The intent of the GRS 77 Universal
Mount is to allow minor adjustments
in angle of the AHRS installation FORWARD

relative to the mounting surface in


the aircraft. In some cases, the
universal mount can be attached
directly to existing structure in the
aircraft, where only the mounting
holes need to be added to structure.
Reference Section 3.2.3.2.3
Installation of GRS 77 Universal Mount (Composite Aircraft)
Description: FORWARD

Some composite aircraft have a solid


fuselage structure that with a GRS 77
Universal Mount, will meet the
requirements for the GRS 77
installation. Modification of the
fuselage involves adding points of
attachment.
Reference Section 3.2.3.2.4
Installation of GRS 77 Universal Mount (Tube and Fabric Aircraft)
Description:
The GRS 77 Universal Mount can be
assembled with an installation plate FORWARD

to existing fuselage tube structure.


The installation plate provides a
stable platform for the Universal
Mount, which allows the assembly to
be corrected for the aircraft level
reference.

Mounting Bracket – Attachment to Stringers or Longerons
Description:
FORWARD
Closely spaced stringers or longerons extending
fore/aft along the bottom of the fuselage may provide
adequate structure to support a mounting bracket.
Look for an area that will provide ample space
forward of the GRS 77 for the connector and wire
harness. Additionally, ensure that the location is not
shared by equipment capable of inducing vibration in
the structure which can be transmitted back to the
GRS 77, such as a location near the engine or landing
gear.
Reference Section 3.2.3.3.1
Modify Existing Floor Panel or Add Mounting Surface to Attach GRS 77 Mounting Plate
Description:
A false floor may exist over airframe structure to
make room for avionics or baggage. If the false floor
surface is level and meets structural requirements, it
may provide an adequate surface for mounting the
GRS 77 directly.
Alternately, existing frame structure may provide a
level plane to which a plate may be attached for
mounting the GRS 77. An example would be multiple
frames with flanges at the same water line (WL).

Plate, Angle Bracket Assembly – Attachment to Existing Frame and Bulkhead Structure
Description:
Angle brackets may be fabricated to attach to existing
frame and bulkhead structure, to which a plate may be
attached. Although multiple frames and bulkhead
structure may be available for the AHRS location,
they may not be at the same water line (WL). One or
more brackets may be needed to create a level plane.
The intent is to ensure the plate remains parallel to the
aircraft level reference and firmly supported across its
span.
Reference Section 3.2.3.3.3

3.2.3.1 Considerations for all GRS 77 Installations


In order to satisfy the structural requirements for the operation of the GRS 77 the following conditions
shall be met:
1. If support racks, brackets or shelves need to be fabricated, they should be fabricated and attached
to the aircraft structure in accordance with the methods outlined in AC43.13-2A Chapter 2 and
the following requirements:
a) Material shall be 2024-T3 sheet aluminum
b) Material shall have some type of corrosion protection (primer, alodine, etc.)
c) Material shall be a minimum of 0.063” for single-sheet aluminum. Aluminum honeycomb
core panels are also acceptable, and have no minimum thickness requirements.
d) Use sheet metal techniques (bend radius, fillets, etc) appropriate to the material thickness and
type.
2. Any supporting structure must be rigidly connected to the aircraft primary structure through
strong structural members capable of supporting substantial loads. Avoid areas that are prone to
severe vibration (e.g., areas close to engine mounts and landing gear).
3. If a new mounting plate is fabricated for the GRS 77, the plate shall not span greater than 12” in
width or length without direct attachment to primary structure. If the mounting plate must span
more than 12”, stiffeners and/or flange reinforcements will be necessary to provide adequate
support.
4. Final installation shall be resistant to visual deflection during the validation of structures test per
Section 3.3.
5. Maintain a minimum of 3” between the forward edge of the mounting rack and any object to
ensure clearance for connector and wire harness.
6. For all installations, level and heading alignment of the GRS 77 will require the use of one of the
following:
a) GRS 77 Universal Mount P/N 011-01780-00,
b) Fabricated mounting equipment, e.g. brackets, shelves, mounting platform, etc., or
c) A combination of both.
For the installation of the GRS 77 level the aircraft in both the longitudinal and lateral axes. Refer to the
aircraft’s maintenance manual for leveling instructions. The aircraft should be placed on jacks while in a
level state to avoid inadvertently placing the aircraft in a non-level position when entering, exiting, or
working in the aircraft.

Figure 3-18. Assembling GRS 77 Mounting Rack to GRS 77 Universal Mount

3.2.3.2.3 Installation of GRS 77 Universal Mount (Typical)

NOTE
Aircraft structures such as the firewall, bulkhead and support frames are usually
perpendicular to the aircraft heading and may be used as reference for determining the
relative position of the installation to the aircraft heading.
Position the GRS 77 Universal Mount assembly on the mounting platform so that it is aligned to the
aircraft heading. Transfer the hole-pattern from the Angle Brackets to the mounting platform, 4 places
each side. Ensure that the arrow on the mounting rack is facing the forward direction.
Remove the GRS 77 Universal Mount assembly from the mounting platform and drill the marked hole-
pattern for #10 hardware (0.189” diameter holes – #12 drill bit) into the mounting platform. The preferred
method of assembly utilizes nutplates installed to the mounting platform: rivet nut plates (MS21059L3)
with MS20426AD3-X rivets to the mounting platform. Ensure that installed rivets are flush with the
installation panel. Remove any burrs or excess rivet heads.
Install the GRS 77 Universal Mount to the mounting plate using AN525-1032R8 screws (8 total, 4 on
each side for the Universal Mount). See Figure 3-19. Alternate hardware includes other screws, bolts,
washers, nuts, and nutplates; these are noted in the table within Figure 3-19. The recommended torque is
20-25 inch lbs. Perform a structural validation test per Section 3.3.

Insert each bolt head into cavity; epoxy and flox should just barely flow over the hole in the inner layer.
Align bolts with the angle brackets by laying taped angle brackets on the mounting surface, taped side
down against epoxy/flox mixture, with bolts sticking through the brackets. Ensure bolts remain
perpendicular to the angles and mounting surface as shown in Figure 3-22. The angle bracket taped faces
should remain flush with the mounting surface.
Ensure brackets remain aligned with the reference marks on the fuselage. Once epoxy/flox mix has set,
remove angles from mounting surface and remove tape from angle brackets.

3.2.3.2.5 Installation of GRS 77 Universal Mount (Tube and Fabric Aircraft)


For tube and fabric aircraft, it is possible to use the tube structure as the support structure for an assembly
that includes an installation plate as well as a GRS 77 Universal Mount to set the AHRS to aircraft level.
The concept involves the assembly of the installation plate with a GRS 77 Universal Mount. The
installation plate offers a surface for attaching the GRS 77 Universal Mount, and the Universal Mount
allows the assembly to accommodate an aircraft level, forward orientation for the GRS 77 AHRS unit.
Two options are presented: tabs welded to airframe or alternately, MS21919 clamps attached to airframe.
Welded Tabs:
1. The preferred method of installation allows for tabs to be welded to the tube structure for attaching
the installation plate.
2. A minimum of four tabs are required and the material must be appropriate to the tube structure of the
airframe.
3. An installation plate uses the four mounting points to secure the plate to the airframe. Countersunk
screws are used to attach the Universal Mount to the installation plate, to minimize possibility of
interference between hardware and the airframe.

G600 AML STC Installation Manual Page 3-27


190-00601-06 Rev. B
4. The installation plate must be at least .125” thickness, 2024-T3. A stiffener may be required
depending on plate length.
5. Reference Figure 3-25 and Figure 3-26 for details and illustration.
6. Perform a structural validation test per Section 3.3.
7. Welded tabs must be treated with corrosion protection appropriate to the materials used and the
existing protection on the airframe. The installation plate requires corrosion protection (example: zinc
primer, alodine etc.) on all surfaces of fabricated parts.

3.2.3.3.1 Mounting Bracket – Attachment to Stringers or Longerons
The option of creating a mounting bracket that attaches to stringers or longerons is shown in Figure 3-29.
The following items should be considered when creating the mounting bracket:
• Mounting bracket requirements should follow conditions noted in Section 3.2.3.1, unless
otherwise indicated.
• Distance between stringers or longerons should be less than 16.0 inches. For a distance between
12.0 and 16.0 inches, use a stiffener down the centerline of the mounting hole pattern (see Figure
3-29). At a minimum, the stiffener should be made of 0.75 x 0.50 x 0.063” angle, with the 0.75”
leg used for attachment to the mounting bracket, and should run the length of the bracket. A
nutplate for the GRS 77 Mounting Plate (center hole in the 5-hole pattern) may be attached
directly to the stiffener. Use MS20426AD3 or MS20426AD4 rivets to secure the stiffener to the
mounting bracket. The vertical leg of the stiffener must be at least 0.25” from the skin of the
aircraft.
• Ensure at least 3 inches forward of AHRS remains clear for connector and wire harness.
• Fabricate a U-shaped mounting bracket keeping edge flanges as short as possible. The flange
should be no more than 0.5 inches higher than the stringers (see Figure 3-29).
• Minimal access to underside of bracket requires use of blind fasteners for the bracket to structure
and for the GRS 77 to the bracket.

3.2.3.3.2 Modify Existing Floor Panel or Add Mounting Surface to Attach GRS 77
Mounting Plate
Some aircraft may have an existing floor panel, such as in an avionics bay or in the baggage
compartment, that is suitable for AHRS installation. Alternately, a simple panel may be installed where
existing structure creates a level plane, creating a mounting surface for the GRS 77 AHRS. The following
items should be considered when modifying a floor panel or adding a mounting surface:

• The panel to which the GRS 77 is mounted must be rigid enough to not transmit vibrations into
the GRS 77. The minimum thickness for sheet metal structure is 0.063 inches. It is acceptable to
install the AHRS to honeycomb structure used in some avionics bays.
• If the GRS 77 is installed in an area used for baggage, extra care must be taken to ensure the GRS
77 is protected from damage. This may require fabrication of a protective cover for the GRS 77.
At least 0.25” space must exist between the surfaces of the AHRS and associated brackets, and
the fabricated cover must not deflect enough to touch the unit when impacted by baggage.
• The GRS 77 Universal Mount is not required when the mounting surface (existing or added) is
level with the aircraft level reference.

3.2.3.4 GRS 77 Rack to Unit Flatness Check

NOTE
Place the unit on its rack, and tighten the screw fasteners on one end of the unit to the
rack (recommended torque is 22-25 inch pounds), but leave the screw fasteners on the
other end of the unit unfastened.
At the unfastened end of the unit, there should now be a gap between the unit baseplate and the rails of
the mounting rack. Measure the gap to determine if it is within tolerances. See Figure 3-32. Using feeler
gauges, check to ensure that the gap between the unit and each rack rail is at least 0.010 inch, but less
than 0.070 inch. See Figure 3-32.
If the gaps between the unit and each rack rail are within tolerance (0.010 inch, but less than 0.070 inch)
tighten the remaining two screw fasteners to hold the GRS 77 unit firmly to its rack (recommended torque
is 22-25 inch pounds).
If the gap is less than 0.010 inch, or greater than 0.070 inch, then the proper amount of preload will not be
exerted on the unit baseplate when the unit is fastened down, and the installation is not acceptable.
Possible causes for a failure of this check include the following:
1. The rack is fastened down to a surface that is not sufficiently flat
2. The rack is warped or damaged
3. The GRS 77 has a center baseplate external shim that is damaged or has been removed
4. The GRS 77 baseplate has been warped or damaged
In the event of a failed test (gap on unfastened end of unit not within the range of 0.010 inch to 0.070
inch), these possibilities must be examined, and any deficiencies corrected to pass this check before the
installation is acceptable.

NOTE
Use a #2 Phillips screwdriver to tighten the GRS 77 to the rack, rather than hand
tightening the knurled screws. The recommended torque is 22-25 inch pounds.
While installing the GRS 77 unit on its rack, a flatness check is required to ensure that the unit’s base is
properly preloaded after installation. Perform a flatness check.
After completion and satisfactorily passing the flatness check, tighten the four mounting screws securing
the GRS 77 unit to the rack.
Refer to Section 5.5 for system configuration, calibration and checkout.

Determine a suitable location for the GMU 44 (refer to Section 2.5.11.5 for placement information).
Example GMU 44 installations can be found in Section D.2.
The GMU 44 mounting rack must be installed within 3° of the aircraft level reference for pitch and roll. It
is preferred that the forward direction of the GMU 44 mounting rack is aligned to within 0.5° in heading
of the aircraft forward direction (longitudinal axis). If it is not possible to guarantee this accuracy,
installation alignment to within 2.5° in heading is acceptable, in combination with a post-installation
heading alignment of the aircraft to a precise heading to determine and set a heading offset. The heading
offset procedure is described in Section 5.6.4. For all installations, level and heading alignment will
require the use of one of the following:
1. GMU 44 Universal Mount P/N 011-01779-01
2. Fabricated mounting equipment, e.g. brackets, shelves, mounting platform, etc.
3. Or a combination of both.
For the installation of the GMU 44 level the aircraft in both the longitudinal and lateral axes. Refer to the
aircraft’s maintenance manual for leveling instructions. It is preferred that the aircraft is placed on jacks
while leveled to avoid inadvertently placing the aircraft in a non level position when entering, exiting or
working the aircraft.

CAUTION
After a location has been selected and a GMU 44 mounting method chosen, a magnetic
interference survey must be performed at that location prior to fabricating or assembling
any parts for the GMU 44 mounting. It is possible that the location will fail the survey
and the installation will require a new location, with different installation requirements.
3.2.4.1 GMU 44 Universal Mount (Optional)
GMU 44 Installation may require the use of the GMU 44 Universal Mount P/N 011-01779-01. The
GMU 44 Universal Mount allows for level installation and aircraft heading alignment.
The GMU 44 Universal Mount Allows for aircraft level installation of the GMU 44 Magnetometer on
mounting structures with inclines up to ±6° in 2° increments and 360° of forward direction offset.
Depending on installation, the GMU 44 may be installed in the following configurations:
1. Installed inside of the GMU 44 Universal Mount
a) Side Plate Mounted, Figure 3-34
b) Bottom Plate Mounted, Figure 3-35
2. Installed suspended from the GMU 44 Universal Mount

3.2.4.2.2 GMU 44 Universal Mount Installation
Determine a suitable location for the GMU 44 (refer to Section 2.5.11.5 for placement information).
Example GMU 44 installations can be found in Appendix D.
Installation of the GRS 77 requires the aircraft to be leveled both in the longitudinal and lateral axis.
Refer to the aircraft maintenance manual for leveling instructions. It is preferred that the aircraft is placed
on jacks while leveled to avoid inadvertently placing the aircraft in a non level position when entering,
exiting or working in the aircraft.
NOTE
Prior to installing any equipment necessary for the installation of the GMU 44, a
Magnetic Interference Survey must be completed to determine if the desired location is
acceptable for the installation of the GMU 44 Magnetometer.
Complete the Magnetic Interference Survey per Section 3.2.4.3
NOTE
In most cases support components for the installation of the GMU 44 Universal Mount is
not required. For some aircraft that require installing the magnetometer in the vertical
stabilizer, support brackets may be required to compensate for the extreme inclines
and/or awkward positioning. In such cases it is recommended to provide a level
installation using the manufactured brackets or other support equipment, especially if the
GMU 44 Universal Mount is secured through the bottom bracket.
If required, install the support components (e.g. manufactured brackets or other equipment used to
support the GMU 44 Universal Mount) required for the installation of the GMU 44 Universal Mount in
accordance with the aircraft maintenance manual and AC43.13-2A Chapter 2. Verify clearances and
requirements per Figure 3-55.
In order to satisfy the structural requirements for the operation of the GMU 44 the following conditions
shall be met:
If support racks, brackets or shelves need to be fabricated, they should be fabricated and attached to the
aircraft structure in accordance with the methods outlined in the aircraft maintenance manual, AC43.13-
2A Chapter 2 and the following requirements:
• Material shall be 2024-T3 sheet aluminum
• Material shall have some type of corrosion protection (primer, alodine, etc.)
• Material shall be a minimum of 0.040” thickness
• Use sheet metal techniques (bend radius, fillets, etc) appropriate to the material thickness and
type.
Any supporting structure must be rigidly connected to the aircraft primary structure through strong
structural members capable of supporting substantial loads.
Mounting platform shall not span greater than 12” in width or length without direct attachment to primary
structure. If mounting platform does span greater than 12”, add necessary stringers, doublers, bulkhead
flange reinforcements, etc., to provide adequate support.
Maintain a minimum of 1 1/4” between the top of the GMU 44 unit and any object to ensure clearance for
connector and wire harness. Refer to Figure 3-55.

Determine the angle offset for level installation and heading angle offset for aircraft heading alignment.
The incline of the mounting location may be measured using a level meter such as the PRO 360 or
equivalent. It is recommended to use a level surface on the aircraft itself as reference for a more accurate
installation.

NOTE
For vertical stabilizer installation, aircraft structures such as the bulkheads and support
frames are usually perpendicular to the aircraft heading and may be used as reference for
determining the relative position of the installation to the aircraft heading.
For wing installations it may require the transferring of both the aircraft heading reference line and the
mounting panel’s line to the shop floor for comparison and angle measurement. Refer to Section 3.2.4.4
for typical methods to determine the heading angle offset.
Assemble the GMU 44 Universal Mount per Section 3.2.4.2.1.

NOTE
For GMU 44 Mounting examples see Section D.2.

G600 AML STC Installation Manual Page 3-55


190-00601-06 Rev. B
For side plate installations, position the GMU 44 Universal Mount on the aircraft mounting structure.
Transfer the hole-pattern from the side-plate of the GMU 44 Universal Mount to the mounting structure
(0.144” diameter drill holes, two places). See Figure 3-56, left side.
For bottom plate installations, drill four holes (0.128” diameter) on the bottom plate (two on each side) of
the GMU 44 Universal Mount. Position the GMU 44 Universal Mount on the mounting platform.
Transfer the hole-pattern from the bottom plate of the GMU 44 Universal Mount to the mounting plate
(0.144” inch diameter, four places). See Figure 3-56, right side.

NOTE
For installations that have the clearance and access to install and remove the GMU 44
without disturbing the GMU 44 Universal Mount, the GMU 44 Universal Mount may be
installed on the mounting platform prior to installing the GMU 44 on it. In this case,
rivets may be used to secure the GMU 44 Universal Mount to the mounting platform
since removal of the GMU for maintenance or replacement will not require the removal
of the GMU 44 Universal Mount. When using rivets, use CR3242-4 (Length A/R) Cherry
Max rivets or MS20470AD5 Solid Universal Head rivets. It is acceptable to oversize the
holes in the Universal Mount brackets to a #21 drill size (0.159”) for installation of
MS20470AD5 rivets.

NOTE
Installation hardware for the GMU 44 Universal Mount should be non-magnetic.
Acceptable nutplates include #6-32 variations of the following: MS21048, MS21050,
MS21052, MS21054, MS21056, MS21058, MS21060, MS21070, MS21072, and
MS21074. Do not use floating nutplates. Acceptable nuts include #6-32 variations of the
following: AN363C, AN364C, or AN365C. Acceptable screws include MS5197, #6-32,
length as appropriate. Acceptable washers include AN960C-6, AN960C-6L,
AN960PD-6, AN960-PD-6L, or their NAS equivalents.
Rivet nut plates (MS21059L3) with MS20426AD4-6 rivets (Countersunk rivets) onto mounting platform.
Ensure that installed rivets are countersunk and are flush with the installation panel. Remove any burrs or
excess rivet heads. In some cases, such as with composite aircraft, self locking nuts may be used instead
of rivet nuts.
Install the GMU 44 into the GMU 44 Universal Mount using hardware included in the GMU 44
Installation Kit. The recommended torque is 12-15 inch lbs.

Page 3-56 G600 AML STC Installation Manual


Rev. B 190-00601-06
The metal components in the GMU 44’s connector may slightly affect the magnetic field sensed by the
GMU 44. Place the connector at least 2 inches from the body of the GMU 44 to minimize this effect.
After attaching the GMU 44’s connector to its mate in the aircraft wiring, secure the connector in place
using good installation practices. This will ensure that any remaining magnetic effect can be compensated
for using the Magnetometer Calibration Procedure in Section 5.6.
After the installation is complete, refer to Section 5 for system configuration, calibration and checkout.
NOTE
The GMU will not provide valid outputs until the post installation calibration procedures
are completed.

3.2.4.3 Magnetic Interference Survey

CAUTION
Do not permanently rivet the GMU 44 Universal Mount together. Use rivets held in place
with tape to hold GMU 44 Universal Mount together temporarily. Clecos, clamps or
other devices that are metal or magnetic should not be used. It is possible that the
location will fail the survey and the installation will require a new location, with a
different incline.
Temporarily assemble the GMU 44 Universal Mount per section 3.2.4.2.1 for level installation using tape
to hold rivets in place. Set the GMU and installation rack onto the GMU 44 Universal Mount. It is
preferable to have the GMU 44 forward direction aligned to the aircraft heading, but not required. Place
the GMU 44 and GMU 44 Universal Mount on the desired installation location and secure in place using
tape. Do not use clamps or other devices that are ferrous or magnetic.
Prepare a detailed test sequence and conduct a survey of the chosen location in accordance with
Section G.4.
Run the magnetic interference survey using the magnetic interference software – refer to Appendix G for
details.
If the test passes, the location is considered reliable for the installation of the GMU 44.
If the test fails, the location should be considered unreliable until the source of the magnetic interference
is identified, remedied and the location is retested and passes the test. Refer to Section 6.1 for additional
information on troubleshooting and correcting the GMU 44 magnetometer installation. If the magnetic
interference cannot be remedied, another location should be chosen and tested.

3.2.4.4 Method for Determining Heading Angle Offset for Wing Installation
One method of determining the heading angle offset for wing mounted installations is as follows:
1. First, transfer the mounting plate alignment to the underside of the wing.

NOTE
For some metal aircraft, it may be possible to use the rivets that secure the plate to the
aircraft skin to translate the plate line. See Figure 3-57. For aircraft that do not have
rivets for reference, such as composite aircraft, dividers may be used.

Up/down movement of the dividers may offset the location of the mark on the underside
of the wing relative to other marks. It is important to note the holding position of the
dividers and ensure the same holding technique is used for all markings.

2. Using a pair of dividers (similar to those shown in Figure 3-58), transfer the installation plate line
to the skin of the aircraft. Place packing tape on the underside of the wing for marking.

3.2.5 GDC 74A ADC Mounting
Determine a suitable location for the GDC 74A (refer to Section 2.5.11.6 for placement information).
Sample GDC 74A installations can be found in Section D.3.
The GDC 74A should be mounted to a surface known to have sufficient structural integrity to withstand
additional inertial forces imposed by a 2.04 pound unit (weight of GDC 74A and Mounting Rack). If it is
necessary to build a shelf or bracket to mount the GDC 74A or if it is not certain that the chosen location
is of sufficient structural integrity, refer to Section 3.3.
In order to satisfy the structural requirements for the operation of the GDC 74A the following conditions
shall be met:
If support racks, brackets or shelves need to be fabricated, they should be fabricated and attached to the
aircraft structure in accordance with the methods outlined in AC43.13-2A Chapter 2, AC43.13-1B
Chapter 4, and the following requirements:
• Material shall be 2024-T3 sheet aluminum
• Material shall have some type of corrosion protection (primer, alodine, etc.)
• Material shall be a minimum of 0.040”
• Use sheet metal techniques (bend radius, fillets, etc) appropriate to the material thickness and
type.
Any supporting structure must be rigidly connected to the aircraft primary structure through strong
structural members capable of supporting substantial loads.
Mounting platform shall not span greater than 12” in width or length without direct attachment to primary
structure. If mounting platform does span greater than 12”, add necessary stringers, doublers, bulkhead
flange reinforcements, etc., to provide adequate support.
Maintain a minimum of 3” between the forward edge of the mounting rack and any object to ensure
clearance for connector, wire harness and pitot static lines, as shown in Figure 3-73.

[2] Ring terminal is part of OAT sensor assembly.
Install the GTP 59 probe as shown in Figure 3-81 and as follows:
1. Determine a suitable location for the GTP 59 (refer to Section 2.5.11.7 for placement
information).
2. Drill a 5/16 inch hole through the aircraft skin at the desired location and install the GTP 59.
3. Prepare the surface. The metal body of the OAT probe should be grounded to the aircraft. The
installation requirements vary depending on the airframe material composition.
a. Aluminum airframe: When a mounting location has been found, prepare the inside surface of
the aircraft. Remove all paint from the contracting area and clean with degreaser.
b. Composite airframe: If possible, mount the OAT probe through a grounded metal strap or
band. Otherwise, mount the OAT probe in an area of the airframe that has a significant
amount of underlying metal foil or mesh. To ensure adequate conductivity, it may be
necessary to mount the OAT probe through a metal doubler. Use fasteners that allow a
conductive path to the airframe.
4. Mount the OAT probe on the prepared surface. Place the ring terminal (4) over the end of the
OAT probe (3). Insert the probe and ring terminal into the hole in the skin of the aircraft. Place
the washer (1) over the end of the end of the OAT probe on outside skin of the aircraft. Thread
the nut (2) onto the OAT probe. Holding the OAT probe on the inside, tighten the nut (2) to 100
inch lbs. ± 20 inch-lbs.

NOTE
The GTP 59 probe comes with a 10 ft cable. On some installation the wiring
provided with the GTP 59 may not be long enough and it may be necessary to
extend the wiring. Splicing or installing in-line connectors are acceptable
methods to extend the wiring.
5. Route the OAT probe cable to the GDC 74A.

3.3 Construction and Validation of Structures
This section includes information necessary for testing load-carrying capabilities of equipment mounting
structures (such as shelves, mounting plates and mounting brackets) used to mount the GRS 77,
GDC 74A and GMU 44 (if required).
If support racks, brackets or shelves need to be fabricated, they should be fabricated and attached to the
aircraft structure in accordance with the methods outlined in AC43.13-2A Chapter 2. After the structure is
installed, it should be tested as outlined in AC43.13-2A chapter 1 to verify that it is capable of supporting
the required loads.
The GRS 77, GDC 74A and GMU 44 (if mounted within the fuselage) installations must be capable of
withstanding the Static Test Load Factors listed in the corresponding tables below for at least three
seconds in each direction specified direction without damage or permanent deformation. In addition, there
should not be noticeable deflection of the GRS 77 mounting structure. Note that these required loads
differ somewhat from those normally required for equipment installations. The following tables show the
static test loads for the GRS 77, GDC 74A and GMU 44.
3.3.1 GRS 77 Static Test Loads
The combined weight of the GRS 77, connector and mounting rack is 3.50 lbs. The static loads which
must be applied (Load Factor x 3.50 lbs.) will be the following:

Direction of Static Test Load


Load Factor (Load Factor x (GRS 77 + Mounting
Force Rack Weight))
Downward 6.6 g (6.6 x 3.5) = 23.10 lbs
Upward 6.0 g (6.0 x 3.5) = 21.00 lbs
Sideward 4.5 g (4.5 x 3.5) = 15.75 lbs
Forward 18.0 g (18.0 x 3.5) = 63.00 lbs
The combined weight of the GRS 77, connector, mounting rack and GRS 77 Universal Mount is 4.55 lbs.
The static loads which must be applied (Load Factor x 4.55 lbs.) will be the following:
Static Test Load
Direction of Force Load Factor (Load Factor x (GRS 77 + Mounting rack
and Universal Bracket Weight))
Downward 6.6 g (6.6 x 4.55 ) = 30.03 lbs
Upward 6.0 g (6.0 x 4.55) = 27.30 lbs
Sideward 4.5 g (4.5 x 4.55) = 20.48 lbs
Forward 18.0 g (18.0 x 4.55) = 81.90 lbs

3.3.2 GDC 74A Static Test Loads


The combined weight of the GDC 74A, connector and mounting rack is 2.30 lbs. The static loads which
must be applied (Load Factor x 2.30 lbs.) will be the following:
Static Test Load
Direction of Force Load Factor (Load Factor x (GDC 74A + Mounting
Rack Weight))
Downward 6.6 g (6.6 x 2.3) = 15.18 lbs
Upward 6.0 g (6.0 x 2.3) = 13.80 lbs
Sideward 4.5 g (4.5 x 2.3) = 10.35 lbs
Forward 18.0 g (18.0 x 2.3) = 41.40 lbs

Page 3-78 G600 AML STC Installation Manual


Rev. B 190-00601-06
NOTE
Structural validation for the GMU 44 mounting structure is only required if the GMU 44
is mounted within the fuselage, and not if mounted in the wing or vertical stabilizer.
3.3.3 GMU 44 Static Test Loads
The combined weight of the GMU 44, connector and mounting rack is 0.50 lbs. The static loads which
must be applied (Load Factor x 0.50 lbs.) will be the following:
Static Test Load
Direction of Force Load Factor (Load Factor x (GDC 74A + Mounting
Rack Weight))
Downward 6.6 g (6.6 x 0.50) = 3.30 lbs
Upward 6.0 g (6.0 x 0.50) = 3.00 lbs
Sideward 4.5 g (4.5 x 0.50) = 2.25 lbs
Forward 18.0 g (18.0 x 0.50) = 9.00 lbs

The combined weight of the GMU 44, connector, mounting rack and GMU 44 Universal Mount is 0.72
lbs. The static loads which must be applied (Load Factor x 0.72 lbs.) will be the following:
Static Test Load
Direction of Force Load Factor (Load Factor x (GDC 74A + Mounting
Rack Weight))
Downward 6.6 g (6.6 x 0.72) = 4.75 lbs
Upward 6.0 g (6.0 x 0.72) = 4.32 lbs
Sideward 4.5 g (4.5 x 0.72) = 3.24 lbs
Forward 18.0 g (18.0 x 0.72) = 12.96 lbs

3.3.4 Test Procedures


One method of determining the static load capability is as follows:

NOTE
Previously installed nut plates for mounting the GRS 77, GDC 74A or GMU 44 may be
used for testing. For installation on an existing aircraft panel (which will require no
removal) testing may be accomplished prior to installing nut plates using the method
below.
Mark and drill the holes where the mounting rack or Universal Mount will be installed, whichever is
applicable to the installation.
For a GRS 77 installation, install four #10-32 machine screws (see Figure 3-19 for Universal Mount and
Figure 3-28 for the Mounting Rack) in the corner holes used to attach the Universal Mount or Mounting
Rack to structure. For a GDC 74A installation, install four 6-32 machine screws (See Figure 3-74) in the
four corner holes, when attaching the GDC 74A mounting rack to existing structure. If special brackets
are used between the mounting rack and existing structure, the bracket attachment to structure must be
tested. For the GMU 44 installation, install two, three, or four pieces of hardware. If using the Universal
Mount in a side mount installation configuration, use two #6-32 machine screws, (stainless), as
demonstrated in Figure 3-56 (left side) and supported by a subsequent hardware discussion. If using the
Universal Mount in a bottom mount installation configuration, use four #6-32 machine screws (stainless),
as demonstrated in Figure 3-56 (right side) and supported by a subsequent hardware discussion. If
installing the GMU 44 Installation Rack directly to existing structure, use the three pan head screws that
arrive with the GMU 44 installation kit.
For testing downward loading, place shot bags or other suitable weights totaling the static test load weight
of the equipment plus the rack within the footprint outlined by the four screw holes.

G600 AML STC Installation Manual Page 3-79


190-00601-06 Rev. B
Verify that there is no damage, permanent deformation or noticeable deflection of the structure during and
after three seconds.
Fasten a 36 inch loop of suitable material such as fishing line, braided wire, or other similar material
having a breaking strength of at least 150lbs, diagonally between two of the screws. Fasten another loop
diagonally between the other two screws, adjusting the length of the loop so it exactly matches the first.
Hook a calibrated force gauge through both loops and apply a sustained pull for at least three seconds in
each of the other three directions (upward, sideward and forward). Figure 3-82 illustrates the upward
static load test and Figure 3-83 illustrates the forward static load test. The sideward static load test is
similar to the forward load test, in a direction perpendicular to the forward load. The force applied must
correspond to the static test load calculated for unit and rack configuration being installed (the static test
load values are found in the tables above).
Examine the support structure carefully. If there has been damage, permanent deformation or noticeable
deflection, the structure is not suitable and must be replaced with one which is strong enough to withstand
the test loads. Examine all aircraft stringers, bulkheads and skin surfaces, which may have direct or
indirect contact with the fabricated parts. If it is determined that no damage or permanent deformation has
occurred, the structure is of sufficient strength and the GRS 77, GDC 74A or GMU 44 equipment may be
used to permanently mount the equipment.

3.4 Cabling and Wiring
The installation kits for the G600 system LRUs include connectors and crimp contacts. Use wire specified
in Section 2.4.2 for all G600 connections. Make the crimp connections with a crimp tool as specified in
Table 3-5.
Refer to the interconnection diagrams in Appendix F for the appropriate interconnections. Use 22 or 24
AWG wire for all connections except for power. Use 20 AWG for power/ground. Install the configuration
modules as described in Section 3.4.2.2. Once the cable assemblies have been made, attach the
backshell/connector to the rear of the mounting unit. Route the wiring bundle as appropriate. Avoid sharp
bends.
3.4.1 Wiring Harness
Allow adequate space for installation of cables and connectors. The installer supplies and fabricates all of
the cables. All electrical connections to the G600 equipment are made through the following connectors
provided by Garmin:
• GDU 620 - a 37-pin D-Subminiature connector (female), a 50-pin D-subminiature connector
(female) and a 62-pin D-subminiature connector (male)
• GRS 77 – a 44-pin D-Subminiature connector (male)
• GMU 44 – a 9-pin circular connector (female)
• GDC 74A – a 78-pin D-Subminiature connector (male)
Construct the wiring harness according to the information contained in this and the following sections.
Cable lengths will vary depending upon installation. Strip all wires going to the connectors 1/8”. Insert
the wire into the pin and crimp with one of the recommended (or equivalent) crimping tools. Insert the pin
into the connector housing location as specified by the interconnect drawing in Appendix F. Verify that
the pin is properly engaged into the connector by gently tugging on the wire. Route and secure the cable
runs from the G600 LRUs away from sources of electrical noise.
Appendix B provides the pin-out information for all G600 LRUs. Required connectors and associated
hardware are supplied with the connector kits. See Appendix F for interconnect wiring diagrams.
CAUTION
Check wiring connections for errors before connecting the cables to the LRUs. Incorrect
wiring could cause component damage.

3.4.2.1 Shield Block Assembly Procedure
The parts for the connector and backshell assemblies for the GDC 74A, GRS 77 and GDU 620
installations are listed in Table 3-6. Backshell connectors give the installer the ability to terminate shield
grounds at the backshell housing using the Shield Block ground kit. Table 3-6 lists Garmin part numbers
for the GDC 74A, GRS 77 and GDU 620 D-sub connectors and the backshell assemblies.

CAUTION
When mounting the slide lock, use only the specified screws (6). Do not attempt to use
the self-tapping screws supplied in the slide lock kit, as these will damage the backshell
housing.

G600 AML STC Installation Manual Page 3-85


190-00601-06 Rev. B
Prepare all of the shielded cables as shown in Figure 3-85. Refer to Figure 3-86 for details of the shield
termination to the connector backshell.
1. At the end of the shielded cable (11), strip back a 2” maximum length of the jacket to expose the
braid. Remove this exposed braid. Carefully score the jacket 1/4” to 5/16” from the end and
remove the jacket to leave the braid exposed.

NOTE
Solder sleeves with pre-installed shield drains may be used instead of separate shield
terminators and individual wires.

2. Connect a 20 or 22 AWG wire (13) to the exposed shield of the prepared cable assembly. (See
Figure 3-85). AC 43.13 maybe a helpful reference for termination techniques.

NOTE
Solder Sleeves with pre-installed lead: A preferred solder sleeve is the Raychem S03
Series with the thermochromic temperature indicator. These solder sleeves come with a
pre-installed lead and effectively take the place of items 12 and 13. For detailed
instructions on product use, refer to Raychem installation procedure.

3. Slide a shield terminator (12) onto the prepared cable assembly (11) and connect the wire (13) to
the shield using a heat gun approved for use with solder sleeves. The chosen size of solder sleeve
must accommodate both the number of conductors present in the cable and the wire (13) to be
attached.

4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 as needed for the remaining shielded cables.

5. Crimp pins/sockets (14) onto the wires and terminate in the connector (10) in accordance with the
aircraft wiring drawings.
6. For P6202, install the configuration module wires into the connector. Refer to Section 3.4.2.2,
steps 1 and 2 for instructions on installing the configuration module.
Assemble the backshell onto the connector:
10. Attach the Shield Block (2) to the backshell (1) by inserting the flathead screws (3) through the
holes on the Shield Block and threading into the tapped holes on the backshell (1). (See Figure
3-84).

CAUTION
When mounting the slide lock, use only the specified screws (6). Do not attempt to use
the self-tapping screws supplied in the slide lock kit, as these will damage the backshell
housing.

11. Place the slide lock (5) over the connector (10). While holding the slide lock in place, attach the
connector / slide lock to the backshell (1) by inserting two screws (6) through the holes on the
connector and threading into the tapped holes on the backshell (1). (See Figure 3-84)

12. Wrap the cable bundle with Silicone Fusion Tape (19 or a similar version) at the point where the
backshell strain relief and cast housing will contact the cable bundle.

CAUTION
Placing the grooved side of the strain relief across the cable bundle may damage wires.
13. Place the smooth side of the backshell strain relief (7) across the cable bundle and secure using
the three screws (6).
Page 3-86 G600 AML STC Installation Manual
Rev. B 190-00601-06
14. For P6202, install the configuration module into the connector backshell. Refer to Section 3.4.2.2
steps 3 through 6 for instructions on installing the configuration module into the backshell.
15. Insert the slide lock spring (4) into the backshell (1). Attach the cover (8) to the backshell using
two screws (9).
NOTE
Each tapped hole on the shield block (2) may accommodate only two ring terminals (15).
It is preferred that a maximum of two wires (13) be terminated per ring terminal. Two
wires per ring terminal will necessitate the use of a ring terminal, #8, insulated, 14-16
AWG (MS25036-153). If only a single wire is left or if only a single wire is need for this
connector a ring terminal, #8, insulated, 18-22 AWG (MS25036-149) can accommodate
this single wire. If more wires exist for the connector than two per ring terminal, it is
permissible to terminate three wires per ring terminal.

16. Install ring terminals (15) onto the wires (13), grouping wires as appropriate for the connector.

17. Terminate the ring terminals to the shield block (2) by placing items on the pan head screw (16)
in the following order: split washer (17), flat washer (18), first ring terminal, second ring terminal
if needed, before finally inserting the screw into the tapped holes on the shield block.

5.2 Required Airframe-Specific Information
This section only provides guidance for gathering the required information particular to each installation.
This information will be used for entering data on the Airframe Configuration page. Record the
information below in the configuration and checkout log sheet in Section 5.11.3.
5.2.1 PFD
The distance/speed (DIS.SPD) and altitude/vertical speed (ALT.VS) units can be configured to match a
particular installation. These units MUST be set to those currently used in the airplane.
The vertical speed tape range can be configured for several ranges. It is recommended that the ±2000 fpm
range be used; however, this is left to the installer’s discretion (e.g. a larger range may be desired if the
VSI being removed has a larger range).
The attitude indicator on the PFD has two pointers on the roll scale. When banking, one pointer indicates
the aircraft bank angle and the other pointer remains stationary. The pointer that indicates bank angle can
either point up (Sky Pointer) or down (Ground Pointer). This pointer must be configured to match the
Standby ADI being installed in the aircraft.
5.2.2 MFD
The default distance/speed (DIS.SPD) and altitude/vertical speed (ALT.VS) units can be configured to
match a particular installation. It is recommended that the same units as the PFD be used; however, this is
left to the installer’s discretion. The pilot will be able to change these units on the first AUX page on the
MFD.

to light conditions.
2. It is recommended to start configuration with a SLOPE of 50%.
3. Minimize photocell input levels by simulating night conditions in the cockpit. Any other
instrument panel or cockpit lighting should be turned on for this adjustment. Seek uniform
consistency between display lighting, bezel/key lighting, and any other illuminated objects.
a) If a display/keypad is too bright, lower the minimum level and/or adjust the lighting slope to
achieve the desired brightness.
b) If the display is not bright enough, raise the minimum level to the desired brightness.
4. Simulate direct maximum sunlight in the cockpit (best if done outside).
a) Verify that the display produces maximum brightness on the backlight output level.
(~10,000).
5. Simulate average sunlight conditions in the cockpit (between 5000-7500 input level).
a) If the display is too bright or too dim, vary the SLOPE and/or OFFSET to achieve desired
brightness at mid-range lighting input levels.
b) Ensure that the lighting SLOPE, OFFSET and MINIMUM LEVEL still maintain the low-
light configuration achieved in Step 2. Repeat Step 2 if necessary to re-adjust night lighting
settings.
6. Adjust the RESPONSE TIME to smooth changes to brightness as required.
7. Adjust the KEY BACKLIGHT CUTOFF PERCENTAGE so that the key backlighting is

observe the SOURCE INPUT LEVEL for corresponding change to the input level. Seek uniform
consistency between display lighting, bezel key lighting, and any other cockpit illuminated
information.
a) If a display/keypad is too bright, lower the minimum level and/or adjust the lighting slope to
achieve the desired brightness.
b) If the display is too dim, increase the minimum level to achieve desired levels.
c) Slowly adjust the dimmer bus knob to its maximum setting. Adjust the SLOPE and OFFSET
to obtain uniform consistency between display lighting, bezel key lighting, and any other
cockpit illuminated information over the full range of the dimmer bus.
d) Set the PHOTO TRANSITION % such that the photocell is used when the dimmer bus is
switched off (OVERRIDE will appear in the PHOTO TRANSITION % setting in the KEY
column).
e) With the dimmer bus OFF, adjust the PHOTO OFFSET to a value so that the display and
bezel keys remain readable.
4. With the dimmer bus OFF, simulate direct sunlight conditions in the cockpit (best if done
outside).
a) If the brightness is below maximum level, adjust the PHOTO SLOPE setting to
achieve maximum brightness (~10,000).
5. Adjust the RESPONSE TIME to smooth changes to brightness as required.
NOTE
The display and key lighting can independently be set to track the photocell or dimmer
bus.

5.6 GRS 77 AHRS Calibration and Check
The GRS 77 AHRS will not provide valid outputs until the following calibration procedures are
completed. The Magnetometer Calibration Procedure must be carried out at a site that is determined to be
free of magnetic disturbances. If it is unsure whether the site is ‘clean’ the technician should verify that
the site is ‘clean’ by following the guidance provided in Section 5.7. The technician may skip Section 5.7
if the site condition is acceptable.
5.6.1 GRS 77 Pitch/Roll Offset Compensation
NOTE
In order to run the Pitch/Roll Offset Compensation Procedure, an Installer Unlock Card
(P/N 010-00769-60) is required.

This procedure must be carried out with the engine off. Select the GRS page group on the MFD and go to
the GRS/GMU calibration page.
1. Level the aircraft to within ±0.25° of zero pitch and zero roll using the procedures in the Airplane
Maintenance Manual.
2. Initiate the AHRS Ground Pitch/Roll Aircraft Level compensation mode by performing the
following steps:
a) Select PITCH/ROLL OFFSET, then press the ENT key.
b) Follow the checklist items displayed on the MFD and press the ENT key as each one is
completed or confirmed. When the CALIBRATE field is blinking, press the ENT key to
begin the procedure.
c) After several seconds, a new checklist appears in the lower half of the MFD. Press the ENT
key as each item is confirmed. When the CONFIRM AIRCRAFT IS LEVEL field is
blinking, press the ENT key to continue.
3. The result of the pitch/roll offset compensation is displayed on the MFD. If successful, the AHRS
records the required pitch and roll offsets, informs the operator of a successful conclusion and
returns to normal operation.
4. Press the ENT key to conclude this procedure.
5. For dual GDU 620 installations, repeat steps 2 through 4 with the other GDU.

5.6.2 GRS 77/GMU 44 Magnetometer Calibration
CAUTION
This Magnetometer Calibration Procedure should be carried out on a compass rose in
order to guarantee measurements free of environmental magnetic disturbances. However,
if a compass rose is not readily available a sight compass may be used. Attempting to
carry out this procedure on a typical ramp area may not yield a successful calibration.
The accuracy of the AHRS cannot be guaranteed if this calibration is not performed on a
magnetically clean and level surface. If the magnetic cleanliness of the proposed surface
is not known, it is recommended that the technician follow the guidance in Section 5.7.

NOTE
In order to run the Magnetometer Calibration procedure, an Installer Unlock Card
(P/N 010-00769-60) is required.

NOTE
Performing the Magnetometer Calibration removes any stored heading offset values.

1. Start the aircraft engine in accordance with the aircraft Airplane Flight Manual or Pilot’s
Operating Handbook.
2. After aircraft engine startup, taxi the aircraft to a properly calibrated compass rose.
3. At the compass rose, align the aircraft to a heading of magnetic north (±5°).
NOTE
For dual GDU 620 installations, the following procedure must be performed on each
GDU 620. The calibration on each GDU can be done simultaneously. When performing
the steps below, follow the turn prompts on GDU1.

4. Ensure an Installer Unlock Card is inserted in the bottom slot of the GDU 620.
5. Restart the GDU in configuration mode.
6. Go to the GRS Page Group on the MFD and select the GRS/GMU Calibration page.

7. Activate the cursor and highlight the SELECT PROCEDURE window and select
MAGNETOMETER.
8. Press the ENT button.
9. Use the cursor to highlight the BEFORE CALIBRATION window.
10. Follow the checklist items displayed on the MFD and press the ENT key as each one is
completed or confirmed. When the CALIBRATE field is blinking, press the ENT key to begin
the procedure.
Page 5-22 G600 AML STC Installation Manual
Rev. B 190-00601-06
11. The MFD display advises the operator when to turn the aircraft, when to stop, and when to turn
again.
12. Upon instruction to turn, taxi the aircraft in a right turn. After approximately 25° to 30° of turn
from the last heading, the MFD display advises the operator to stop the aircraft.

NOTE
Due to the difficulties in executing smooth, accurate turns the MFD may incorrectly
interpret a station and instruct to “HOLD POSITION” prior to full completion of a 30°
turn. If this scenario is encountered, it is best for the operator to ignore the “HOLD
POSITION” command and instead use outside references to complete the approximate
30° turn. Instead of using the MFD instruction to turn as a real-time indication of when to
turn, simply judge the 30° (±5°) turn increments of the aircraft by using the compass rose
radials. Dwelling at these 30° increments for the time recommended by the MFD should
result in successful calibration.
13. The MFD guides the operator to dwell at multiple headings around a complete circle.

NOTE
Due to high winds or excessive airframe vibration, the operator may encounter a
condition where the MFD restarts the 18-second countdown without full completion of
the previous countdown. If this is encountered more than once for a given station, the
operator should begin turning to the next station (approximately 30°). A minimum of 2
successful stations per quadrant is required, where a successful station is a full 18-second
countdown followed by instruction to move. Ensure that at least 2 stations per quadrant
are completed. Thus, it may sometimes be required to dwell at a station after a
countdown restart. A maximum of 20 stations is allowed for the entire calibration
procedure. If too many countdown restarts are encountered, the calibration will fail with
the message, “TOO MANY STATIONS.”
14. Repeat the turn-and-stop process until the MFD advises that a successful calibration is complete.
The GRS 77 AHRS then enters its normal operational mode. Press the ENT key on the GDU to
conclude this procedure.

5.6.3 Compass Swing
After the Magnetic Calibration Procedure is completed, a compass swing must be performed to verify the
GRS 77/GMU 44 heading accuracy. If each heading displayed on the PFD (or PFD 1 and PFD 2) is
within ±3° of the actual heading no further adjustments are necessary. Otherwise, additional adjustments
are required, as described below the procedure in Section 5.6.4 must be performed.
1. With all of the aircraft and avionics systems powered and operating normally, position the aircraft
on a known compass rose at a heading 360° (North), or select a level and magnetically clean
location and use a sight compass to position the aircraft to a heading of 360° (North).
2. Record the heading displayed on the PFD (or PFD1 and PFD2 for a dual GDU installation) in
Table 5-4. Also record the heading displayed on the standby compass (these values can be used
to complete the standby compass calibration card).
3. Repeat step 2 for each of the headings listed in Table 5-4.

physically corrected.
3. If at least one Heading Error (A-B) is greater than 5° / less than -5°, calculate the average error by
adding all errors and dividing by 12. This is the angle by which the GMU 44 must be physically
rotated to correct the installation.
4. Modify the installation to rotate the GMU 44 by the amount calculated in the previous step. When
looking down at the GMU 44, rotate clockwise for positive values, and counterclockwise for
negative values.
5. After physically correcting the GMU 44 installation, repeat the procedures in Sections 5.6.2 and
5.6.3.
FOR DUAL GDU INSTALLATIONS:
The installation of both GMU 44s must be verified individually using GDU1 for GMU 44 No. 1, and
GDU2 for GMU 44 No. 2.
1. If all calculated heading errors for PFD1 are between -3° and +3° inclusive, the installation of the
No. 1 system is acceptable and no further work is required to correct the GMU 44 No. 1
installation. Go to step 6 for No. 2 system checks, and proceed to Section 5.6.5 for further tests to
be performed on GDU1.
2. If all calculated heading errors are between -5° and +5° inclusive, the heading offset procedure
can be used to correct the GMU 44 No. 1 installation. Go to step 6 for No. 2 system checks, and
proceed to Section 5.6.4 for further tests to be performed on GDU1.
NOTE
If at least one Heading Error (A-B) is greater than 5° / less than –5°, DO NOT perform
the heading offset procedure in Section 5.6.4 until the GMU 44 No. 1 installation has
been physically corrected.
3. If at least one Heading Error (A-B) is greater than 5° / less than -5°, calculate the average error by
adding all PFD1 heading errors and dividing by 12. This is the angle by which GMU 44 No. 1
must be physically rotated to correct the installation.
4. Modify the installation to rotate the GMU 44 No. 1 by the amount calculated in the previous step.
When looking down at the GMU 44, rotate clockwise for positive values, and counterclockwise
for negative values.
5. After physically correcting the GMU 44 No. 1 installation, repeat the procedures in Sections 5.6.2
and 5.6.3 on PFD 1 only.
6. If all calculated heading errors for PFD2 are between -3° and +3° inclusive, the installation of the
No. 2 system is acceptable and no further work is required to correct the GMU 44 No. 2
installation. Proceed to Section 5.6.5 for further tests to be performed on GDU2.
7. If all calculated heading errors are between -5° and +5° inclusive, the heading offset procedure
can be used to correct the GMU 44 No. 2 installation. Proceed to Section 5.6.4 for further tests to
be performed on GDU2.

G600 AML STC Installation Manual Page 5-25


190-00601-06 Rev. B
NOTE
If at least one Heading Error (A-B) is greater than 5 degrees / less than –5 degrees, DO
NOT perform the heading offset procedure in Section 5.6.4 until the GMU 44 No. 2
installation has been physically corrected.
8. If at least one Heading Error (A-B) is greater than 5 degrees / less than -5 degrees, calculate the
average error by adding all PFD2 heading errors and dividing by 12. This is the angle by which
GMU 44 No. 2 must be physically rotated to correct the installation.
9. Modify the installation to rotate the GMU 44 No. 2 by the amount calculated in the previous step.
When looking down at the GMU 44, rotate clockwise for positive values, and counterclockwise
for negative values.
10. After physically correcting the GMU 44 No. 2 installation, repeat the procedures in Sections 5.6.2
and 5.6.3 on PFD 2 only.
5.6.4 Heading Offset Compensation
NOTE
The heading offset compensation procedure is not required if it was determined in
Section 5.6.3 that all calculated heading errors are between -3° and +3° inclusive.
If at least one heading error was greater than 3° or less than -3°, but all heading errors
were between -5° and +5° inclusive, use the heading offset compensation procedure to
correct the errors. Otherwise, physically correct the appropriate GMU 44 installation
BEFORE performing the heading offset compensation procedure.

NOTE
If heading offset compensation procedure must be performed on both GDU1 and GDU2
it is permitted to run the procedure below simultaneously on each GDU.

NOTE
In order to run the Heading Offset Compensation procedure an Installer Unlock Card
(P/N 010-00769-60) is required.

NOTE
Magnetometer Calibration procedure must be performed BEFORE the Heading Offset
Compensation procedure. Performing the Magnetometer Calibration removes any stored
heading offset values.

1. Select the ENGINE RUN-UP TEST procedure and press the ENT key.
2. Follow the checklist items displayed on the MFD, and press the ENT key as each one is
completed or confirmed. When the CALIBRATE field is blinking, press the ENT key to begin
the procedure.
G600 AML STC Installation Manual Page 5-27
190-00601-06 Rev. B
3. The MFD display instructs the operator to gradually increase power from idle to full throttle and
back to idle over a period of 1-2 minutes.
4. When the operator has completed the engine run-up and the engine is back to an idle setting,
press the ENT key to indicate that the process is complete. When this is done, the TEST
COMPLETE field stops blinking.
5. The MFD informs the operator if the installation has passed or failed the vibration test. If the test
fails, the specific measurements causing the failure are identified and numeric values are
displayed on the MFD.
6. Press the ENT key on the MFD to conclude this procedure.

NOTE
If failures are indicated, the engine run-up test may be repeated at most two more times.
If the test does not pass after three attempts, then the installation should not be considered
reliable until the source of the vibration problem is identified and remedied. In the event
of repeated failure of the engine run-up test, record the values that are reported to be out
of range for future reference.
The following are potential causes for failure of the engine run-up test:
1. Vibration motion of GRS 77 and/or GMU 44 caused by neighboring equipment and/or supports.
2. Mounting screws and other hardware for GRS 77 and/or GMU 44 not firmly attached.
3. GRS 77 connector not firmly attached to unit.
4. Cabling leading to GRS 77 or GMU 44 not firmly secured to supporting structure.
5. An engine / propeller that is significantly out of balance.
The aircraft can now be taxied back and the engine can be shut down for final testing. Following a
successful AHRS calibration, when the PFD powers up in normal mode, the AHRS attitude and heading
information displayed should become valid within 1 minute of power-up.

5.6.6 Magnetometer Interference Test
NOTE
An Installer Unlock Card is not required to run the Magnetometer Interference Test.

With the GDU 620 in configuration mode, initiate the GRS 77 AHRS magnetometer interference test
procedure by performing the following steps:
1. Select the GRS page group on the MFD, go to the GRS/GMU calibration page, select the MAG
INTERFERENCE TEST procedure and press the ENT key.
2. Follow the checklist items displayed on the MFD, and press the ENT key as each one is
completed or confirmed.

NOTE
The third item on the checklist instructs the operator to prepare a detailed test sequence
list with precise start and stop times for exercising all electronic devices. Only the
electronic devices that are likely to affect the operation of the GMU 44 magnetometer
need be included in the test sequence. The list of relevant electronic devices varies from
aircraft to aircraft. This sequence is the same sequence developed for the magnetometer
interference survey in Section 3.2.4.3.
3. When the CALIBRATE field is blinking, press the ENT key to begin the procedure (as soon as
the ENT key is pressed this time, a CALIBRATION PROCEDURE window will appear). Have a
stopwatch ready to begin recording the elapsed time.
4. The operator should carry out the actions called for in the prepared test sequence.

NOTE
It is important that all actions are carried out in the order and at the precise elapsed time
as specified in the prepared test sequence.

5. After the “Begin test sequence” white text appears, wait approximately five seconds and perform
each of the actions listed in the test sequence table (refer to Table G-1 in Appendix G for an
example of a test sequence).
6. When the test sequence is completed, wait approximately five seconds and then press the ENT
key to complete the test. When this is done, the TEST COMPLETE field stops blinking.

G600 AML STC Installation Manual Page 5-29


190-00601-06 Rev. B
7. The MFD informs the operator if the installation has passed or failed the magnetometer
interference test.
a) If the test passes, no further action is required.
b) If the test fails, the installation should be considered unreliable until the source of magnetic
interference is identified and remedied. The magnetometer interference test must be repeated
until passed. When the magnetometer interference test fails, record the three magnetometer
maximum deviation values and their corresponding timestamps. A maximum deviation value
greater than 5.0 milligauss in either the X or Y axes, or greater than 8.0 milligauss in the Z
axis indicates a problem that must be resolved. Compare the corresponding timestamps with
the prepared test sequence to identify which action produced the problem. Contact Garmin
for assistance in resolving the problem.

NOTE
Two common reasons for a failed magnetometer interference test are:
• New equipment is installed in close proximity to the GMU 44 magnetometer.
• An existing or new electronic device has become grounded through the aircraft structure
instead of via the proper ground wire in a twisted shielded pair, especially if the ground return
path through the aircraft structure passes near the GMU 44.

8. Press the ENT key on the MFD to conclude this procedure.

5.7 Site Evaluation of Magnetic Disturbances (Optional)
NOTE
Typically, a compass rose is an acceptable location to perform the magnetometer
calibration procedure. However, because not all compass roses are well maintained, even
an existing compass rose should be regularly evaluated using the method described here
to determine if it is free of magnetic disturbances. If evaluation of an existing compass
rose indicates that magnetic disturbances are present, then an alternative location must be
found to perform the Magnetometer Calibration Procedure.

NOTE
In order to perform the Site Evaluation for Magnetic Disturbances, an Installer Unlock
Card (P/N 010-00769-60) is required.
A G600-equipped airplane can be used to evaluate a candidate site for magnetic disturbances and
determine whether it is a suitable location to perform the magnetometer calibration procedure. The
magnetometer calibration procedure itself contains the logic to simultaneously survey the location for
magnetic cleanliness while it is computing the magnetometer calibration parameters.
The G600-equipped airplane used to evaluate the site must have already completed the Pitch/Roll offset
compensation procedure (Section 5.6.1). However, prior completion of the Magnetometer Calibration
Procedure (Section 5.6.2) is not required.
In order to evaluate a candidate site, the Magnetometer Calibration Procedure must be performed twice:
once turning clockwise around the site, and once turning counter-clockwise. Both times, the procedure
should be conducted as described in Section 5.6.2 of this document, with the exception of the direction of
turns around the site.
NOTE
Although Section 5.6.2 indicates that the Magnetometer Calibration Procedure should be
performed by making a series of clockwise turns around the site, the procedure can also
be performed by making counter-clockwise turns for the purpose of evaluating the site
for magnetic disturbances.
If, upon completion of the Magnetometer Calibration Procedure in each clockwise and counter-clockwise
direction, the PFD displays the “CALIBRATION SUCCESSFUL / SITE IS CLEAN” message, then the
candidate site is sufficiently free of magnetic disturbances and is acceptable for performing the
Magnetometer Calibration Procedure. It is important to obtain successful results in both the clockwise and
counter-clockwise directions to ensure that the magnetometer sweeps over a large enough area at the
candidate site.
If, upon completion of the Magnetometer Calibration Procedure in either of the two directions, the PFD
displays either the “MAG FIELD AT SITE NOT UNIFORM”, or “MAG FIELD AT SITE DIFFERS
FROM IGRF MODEL” message, then the site contains magnetic disturbances that are too large and an
alternate site should be used for the GRS 77/GMU 44 Magnetic Calibration procedure.

5. If activated, verify the expiration of the Electronic Charts Database.
5.8.2 Pitot-Static, ADC and Airspeed Tape Settings Checks
Verify correct operation of the GDU 620 altitude and airspeed tapes, standby altimeter and standby
airspeed indicator using a pitot/static ramp tester. The static port and airspeed tape / altimeter must be
verified in accordance with Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) § 91.411 and Part 43
Appendix E.
NOTE
When conducting air data tests it is possible to induce attitude and/or heading errors on
the GDU 620 – this is normal system behavior. Refer to Section 6.2 for additional
details.

NOTE
The airspeeds referenced in the following steps are those determined in Section 5.2.4.

NOTE
For a dual GDU 620 installation, this check must be completed for each GDU 620 – both
may be verified at the same time.
Verify correct operation of the GDC 74A ADC as follows:
1. Turn on power to the G600 system.
2. Verify all self-tests pass on the main startup screen.
3. Check the outside air temperature (OAT) measurement shown on the PFD to ensure it reads
ambient temperature.
4. Using a pitot/static ramp tester increase the airspeed until the PFD airspeed tape pointer is at
the bottom of the white band (VS0). Verify that the bottom of the white arc/band on the ASI
and PFD airspeed tape are at the same airspeed value.
5. Only applicable to twin engine aircraft: Increase the airspeed to the lower red radial (Vmca).
Verify that the red radial on the ASI and PFD airspeed tape are at the same airspeed value.

the same airspeed value.
7. Only applicable to twin engine aircraft: Increase the airspeed to the blue radial (Vyse) Verify
that the blue radial on the ASI and PFD airspeed tape are at the same airspeed value.
8. Change the airspeed until the PFD airspeed tape pointer is at the top of the white band (Vfe).
Verify that the top of the white arc/band on the ASI and PFD airspeed tape are at the same
airspeed value.
9. Change the airspeed until the PFD airspeed tape pointer is at the top of the green band /
bottom of the yellow band (Vno). Verify that the top of the green arc/band on the ASI and
PFD airspeed tape are at the same airspeed value.
10. Increase the airspeed to the upper red radial/top of yellow arc (Vne). Verify that the red radial
on the ASI and PFD airspeed tape are at the same airspeed value.
11. Decrease the airspeed to zero, stopping at all of the airspeeds listed in the Table 5-5
(airspeeds above Vne should not be checked). Verify that the PFD and standby airspeed
indicator display the values within the tolerances indicated:

6 Troubleshooting
This section provides information to assist troubleshooting if problems occur with a G600 installation.
6.1 GMU 44 Magnetometer Troubleshooting
When performing a magnetic interference survey numerous issues may arise. This section lists some
common causes for failures of the magnetometer interference test, and a description of some of the things
that can be done to remedy them.
6.1.1 Common Causes for Failures of the Magnetometer Interference Test
6.1.1.1 Electrical Current Return Paths
If electrical loads are grounded through the airframe, the returning electrical current will flow through the
airframe toward the alternator, generator, or battery. If the magnetometer lies along this current return
path, the current can cause significant magnetic interference. Electrical current return paths are the most
common cause of magnetic interference issues. Common examples of this problem are the navigation
lights at the wingtips for wing-mounted magnetometers or the strobe light on the tail for vertical
stabilizer-mounted magnetometers.
Before making changes to the aircraft, isolate the particular electrical load which is causing the
interference by running the GMU 44 Location Survey Tool while turning the load on and off or by
running the magnetometer interference test with the load on and again with it off.
To correct the problem, ground the electrical load through a wire rather than through the airframe. The
ground wire should run into the fuselage for wing-mounted magnetometers so that the return current no
longer flows through the airframe past the magnetometer. Ideally this ground wire should be routed
beside the power wire for that electrical load. This will maximize cancellation of the associated magnetic
field that is generated by the current.
6.1.1.2 Nearby Electrical Loads
Large electrical loads that are close to the magnetometer can generate significant magnetic interference.
It is important to install the GMU 44 using the guidelines provided in Section 2.5.11.5 and Table 2-5.
6.1.1.3 Ferromagnetic Materials
Ferromagnetic materials can become magnetized and cause magnetic interference. It is important to use
nonmagnetic materials to mount the GMU 44, and replace any magnetic fasteners within 20” (0.5 m) with
nonmagnetic equivalents (e.g. replace zinc-plated steel screws used to mount wing covers or wingtips
with nonmagnetic stainless steel screws.)

6.1.2 Examples of Magnetic Interference Problems


In order to isolate the cause the magnetic interference, first review the results from the GMU 44 Location
Survey Tool as described in Appendix G. Compare the survey results to the detailed test sequence to
identify which item caused the failure. Two examples of common survey failures are shown below.

G600 AML STC Installation Manual Page 6-1


190-00601-06 Rev. B
Interference From The Wingtip Nav And Strobe Lights
Interference From The Pitot Heat

The cause of both of the interference issues above was determined to be electrical current return paths
through the airframe, as described in Section 6.1.1.1. Two options were available at this point: (1) run
new ground wires for the pitot heat, strobe light, and NAVNAV light, or (2) choose a different location
for the GMU 44. Since it was determined that running new ground return wires through the wing would
be difficult, the GMU 44 was relocated to more suitable location in the aft fuselage.

Interference From The Strobe Light On Vertical Stabilizer

Page 6-2 G600 AML STC Installation Manual


Rev. B 190-00601-06
The cause of the interference above was determined to be an electrical current return path through the
airframe, as described in Section 6.1.1.1. The power return for strobe light power supply was through the
chassis of the power supply (the design for this power supply did not have a separate connection for a
power ground). To correct the problem, the power supply was replaced with a new power supply that had
a separate power ground that was isolated from the chassis. A new ground wire was run from the strobe
light power supply and attached to the airframe forward of the GMU 44.

of the STC. The installer should reference the aircraft manufacturer’s data or other approved alteration
methods.
Instruments relocated in accordance with this manual should use the original lighting system provided by
the type design. When modifying or re-fabricating an instrument panel which has an overlay for lighting
the installer must modify the lighting overlay in accordance with the manufacturer’s data or replace that
lighting with an approved lighting technique covered by the TC, applicable STC, or other approved
method.
For preservation of essential equipment in aircraft with multiple power busses, the GDU 620, GRS 77,
and GDC 74A must be powered from the essential bus. For aircraft with a single bus feed, this equipment
must be powered from the main bus. Operation of the pilot’s (primary) system on an avionics bus or
secondary bus is prohibited.
Backup CDIs which support GPS or GPS/NAV will not operate properly under all conditions; as such, if
a backup CDI is installed, it must be limited to VOR/LOC and/or ILS indications only.
Installations which utilize a standby attitude indicator with a flight director presentation integral to the
unit must disable the flight director presentation. The parallax view of the flight director requires FAA
evaluation to determine suitability for each panel location of the attitude indicator. Driving multiple flight
director displays from some autopilot / flight director computers may overload the signal and affect the
amplitude and overall delay of the presentation. Approval for the display of the flight director on the
standby attitude instrument may be done via TC, STC, or FAA Field Approval, but is beyond the scope of
the G600 AML STC.
Aircraft requiring a third attitude instrument for operations under Part 121 or 135 must still comply with
the G600 standby instrument requirements and placement; as such, one additional attitude indicator is
required for the copilot’s position. This third attitude indication may be a traditional gyro, or second G600
system installed in accordance with this manual.
Aircraft operating at or above RVSM published altitudes will not meet the RVSM requirements with the
G600 installation as outlined in this manual. RVSM compliance may be a future enhancement of the
G600 system.
7.2.1 Penetration of Aircraft Pressure Vessels
In pressurized aircraft some components of the G600 system may be mounted outside the pressurized
area, requiring that wires penetrate through the pressure vessel. This installation must utilize the
provisions of bulkhead penetrations, such as sealed connectors or wiring, as provided by the manufacturer
and in accordance with the aircraft maintenance manual. Substantiation for additional holes in the
pressure vessel is beyond the scope of the G600 AML STC and would require additional data from the
aircraft manufacturer or other FAA approved data.

190-00601-06 Rev. B
7.2.2 Equipment Interfaced to the G600 System
Connections from the G600 to aircraft systems other than those shown in this installation manual are
outside the scope of the G600 AML STC and may require further evaluation and / or certification
approval.
All equipment interfaced to the G600 must be previously or concurrently approved.
7.2.2.1 GNS 500W Series TAWS Annunciation
Only TAWS annunciations received from the No. 1 System (i.e. GPS or GPS 1) are displayed on the
PFD. If the aircraft’s TAWS system is embedded in a GNS 500W Series Navigator configured as system
No. 2, the remote annunciations will not display on the PFD of the G600.
7.2.2.2 Altitude Alerter and Pre-Selectors
Some autopilot systems support altitude capture during flight level changes. Of those systems, only a
subset of autopilots support external vertical speed and/or pre-selected altitudes. The G600 Altitude
Alerter can function as an Altitude Pre-Selector only for those systems identified in this installation
manual and only when the option is enabled in the G600 as a system upgrade. The functional extent of the
Altitude Alerter must be communicated to the pilot via the Airplane Flight Manual Supplement.
7.2.2.3 Traffic Sensor Interfaced to the G600
The G600 System is certified to support only one traffic sensor for a given installation. The system
supports multiple types (TAS, TCAS I, TIS) of traffic systems, but only one system may be configured
for use.
7.2.3 Major Alterations
The installation of the G600 system is a major alteration to the aircraft type design. Before returning the
airplane to service, installers are required to complete and submit an FAA Form 337; “Major Repair and
Alteration Airframe, Powerplant, Propeller, or Appliance” to the appropriate FAA Flight Standards
District Office describing the work accomplished. The FAA Form 337 must detail the equipment and
systems to which the G600 system is interfaced.
7.2.4 Instructions for Continued Airworthiness
Before returning the airplane to service, the G600 Configuration and Checkout Log must be completed
and attached with the Instructions for Continued Airworthiness so that any aircraft with the modifications
detailed in this manual may be properly maintained.

8 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
The G600 is designed to not require any regular maintenance. Maintenance of all G600 LRUs is “on
condition” only.
8.1 Cleaning
The front bezel, keypad, and display of the GDU 620 can be cleaned with a soft cotton cloth dampened
with clean water. DO NOT use any chemical-cleaning agents. Care should be taken to avoid scratching
the surface of the display.
8.2 GDC 74A
Per Part 43 Appendix E, paragraph (b)(2), the GDC 74A must be checked using a test procedure
equivalent to Part 43 Appendix E, paragraph (b)(1) with two exceptions:
• The tests of sub-paragraphs (iv) (Friction) and (vi) (Barometric Scale Error) are not
applicable because the digital outputs of the GDC 74A are not susceptible to these types of
errors.
Other than for regulatory testing pertaining to Part 43 Appendix E and F, (Pitot/Static leak test as
described in Part 91.411) maintenance of the GDC 74A is “on condition” only.

By hard strapping the program pins to ground, the GRS 77 is assigned a System ID. IDs identify a GRS
77 as an All Call, #1, #2, or #3 unit. For a single system, the pins are left open (All Call).

The GRS 77 has an associated Source/Destination Identifier (SDI or System ID) that is coded into its
ARINC 429 output messages/labels. The System ID may be used to uniquely distinguish the source of the
GRS 77 ARINC 429 labels in a system with more than one GRS 77. The GRS 77 System ID is set as
follows:

The ARINC 429 transmitters currently operate at low speed. The receivers are capable of accepting either
high-speed or low-speed data. Unless high-speed transmission is necessary, low-speed transmission is
preferred.

B.4.1.3 Temperature Inputs


Temperature input is used for Outside Air Temperature (OAT) computations. The temperature input is a
three-wire temperature probe interface. OAT Power Out and OAT High are connected internally at the
OAT probe. A GTP 59 or other supported temperature probe is required for the GDC 74(X) ADC (Air
Data Computer) installation. The GTP 59 is a Resistive Temperature Device (RTD).

Pin Name Connector Pin I/O
ADC SYSTEM ID PROGRAM* 1 P741 6 In
ADC SYSTEM ID PROGRAM* 2 P741 71 In

By hard strapping the program pins to ground, the GDC 74A is assigned a System ID. IDs identify a
GDC 74A as an All Call, #1, #2, or #3 unit. For a single system, the pins are left open (All Call).
The GDC 74A has an associated Source/Destination Identifier (SDI or System ID) that is coded into its
ARINC 429 output messages/labels. The System ID may be used to uniquely distinguish the source of the
GDC 74A ARINC 429 labels in a system with more than one GDC 74A. The GDC 74A System ID is set
as follows:

[1] The compass valid discrete input to the autopilot computer must be grounded when the G600 is installed. The autopilot uses this input to determine the
validity of the heading and course datum (error) signals. With mechanical instruments, when heading becomes invalid the heading and course datum
signals will remain set to the value when valid heading was last received. However, unlike mechanical instruments, the G600 will automatically set these
signals to zero error whenever the heading becomes invalid, resulting in a wings-level condition. This allows GPSS (simulated heading datum) from the
G600 to still be used by the autopilot if the gyro heading were to fail.

(Garmin document 190-00601-04). The heading and course signal characteristics are determined by the “Autopilot Type” that is configured. Refer to
Section 5.5.9.

G.4 Conducting the GMU 44 Location Survey with the GLS Tool
CAUTION
Do not permanently install the GMU 44 prior to successfully completing the magnetic
survey. It is possible that the location will fail the survey and a new location will be
required.

NOTE
The GLS Tool is designed to identify transient magnetic disturbances. In rare instances
the GLS Tool magnetic survey will pass but the installation will fail the magnetometer
calibration during the post installation checkout. This is usually due to a constant
magnetic field present in the aircraft (e.g. the structure is magnetized). Contact Garmin
for assistance if this occurs.

Place the GMU 44 on the desired installation location and secure in place using a non-ferrous material.
With the aircraft leveled, ensure that the GMU 44 is within five degrees of level – the actual tilt of the
GMU 44 can be confirmed when the survey is completed. Do not use clamps or other devices that are
ferrous or magnetic. It is preferable to have the GMU 44 forward direction aligned to the aircraft
heading, but not required.
Prepare a detailed test sequence list with precise start and stop times for exercising all items in the aircraft
which are likely to affect the operation of the GMU 44 magnetometer. The list of relevant items varies
from aircraft to aircraft. An example of a test sequence is given in Table G-1. This sequence contains
items that will not be applicable to every installation and should be tailored to each particular installation
– additional items may have to be added when doing so.
Connect the test equipment as shown in Figure G-1.

The Garmin GLS tool will start displaying received data from the GMU 44 as soon as
power is applied to the GMU44 (assuming correct test harness interconnect).

Connect the test harness to the appropriate COM port on the laptop and open the test software. Limit
current to 200 mA and apply 12V to the GMU.

NOTE
To get accurate results from the survey, ensure that the standard power architecture in
the aircraft is ON during the first 20 seconds of the survey.
Before beginning the survey, power up the aircraft with the standard power architecture ON (master
switch, avionics bus if applicable, etc.) With test sequence in hand, start the survey by selecting ‘F4 Strt
Suvy’ or pressing the F4 key on the keyboard and start the stopwatch simultaneously. Perform the test
sequence making sure to follow the timeline for all actions. Ensure that for the first 20 seconds the
aircraft is not disturbed, i.e. no movement of flight controls or use of instrumentation, etc.
When the operator has completed the actions specified in the test sequence, stop the test software by
selecting ‘F5 Stop Suvy’ or pressing the F5 key. Select ‘F6 Save Data’ or press the F6 key on the
keyboard to save the file. Record file name on the test sequence sheet.

G.4.2 Data Analysis
To analyze the data select the ‘F11 Rvw Data’ or press the F11 key on the keyboard.
A window will open asking for the file name of the data to be analyzed. Select the saved file for the
appropriate test and select ‘Open’.

After selecting ‘Open’ the following DOS window will appear while the data is being analyzed. The
analysis may take several minutes, depending upon how much data was recorded.

When the analysis is complete, the test results will be displayed in a graph format. Two plots will be
displayed – the magnetic survey field results and the magnetometer tilt measurements. The plots of the
magnetic interference results and magnetometer tilt will be automatically saved as bitmap (.bmp) files in
the same directory as the source data file, with the same name as the source data file – these can be used
for future reference.

Page G-14 G600 AML STC Installation Manual


Rev. B 190-00601-06
Select the magnetometer tilt measurements window (MagTilt).

Verify that the X Tilt (Roll) and Y Tilt (Pit) are within the range -5° < X/Y Tilt < 5°. If the tilt is not
within 5° of level the temporary GMU 44 installation must be corrected to level the GMU 44, and the
survey must be repeated before proceeding.
If the tilt is within the acceptable range, select the magnetic survey field results (MagField) window.
Verify that there are no electromagnetic anomalies during the first 20 seconds of the test in which the
aircraft was not disturbed.

The Graph will show the electromagnetic boundary limits for each axis (X, Y and Z) for information
only. The message on top right of the screen will show if the survey has ‘Passed’ or ‘Failed’.

G600 AML STC Installation Manual Page G-15


190-00601-06 Rev. B
If the survey displays that the survey has failed, use the zoom options to determine the time of
occurrence.

Page G-16 G600 AML STC Installation Manual


Rev. B 190-00601-06
Correlate the time of occurrence of the failure with the action performed on the detailed test sequence and
correct the source of the interference. Refer to Section 6.1 for additional information on troubleshooting
and correcting a GMU 44 magnetometer installation. If the magnetic interference cannot be remedied,
another location should be chosen and tested.

If the test fails, the location should be considered unreliable until the source of the magnetic interference
is identified, remedied and the location is retested and passes the test.
If the test passes, the location is considered reliable for the installation of the GMU 44.
The following example is a result from a survey with ideal passing results:

When done, the data analysis windows can be closed by closing the three windows individually, or by
returning to the DOS window shown below and pressing the <Enter> key.

Appendix H Miscellaneous Instrument Panel Installations
H.1 Panel Patches for GDU 620 and Accommodation of Oversize Indicators
In some installations, once the cutout is made for the GDU 620, there is insufficient material remaining
on the instrument panel on which to affix nut plates. If at least four nut plates have sufficient material for
attachment directly to the instrument panel, it is acceptable to use patch plates for the remaining one or
two nut plates. Patch plates may be installed as described in Figure H-1.
In some installations, once the cutout is made for the GDU 620, there is no material remaining between
adjacent instrument cutouts. This usually occurs for oversize indicators, such as the King KI 256. If this
occurs for one instrument, it is acceptable to install angle brackets or custom adapter plate, as described in
Figure H-1.

H.2 Bolster Modification for Standby Instruments
In some installations there is unused space in the bolster immediately below the instrument panel. If the
location meets the requirements for the location of 3 1/8” Standby Instruments (refer to Section 2.5.11.2),
it may be desirable to install one or more standby instruments in the bolster. It is acceptable to rework the
bolster and cut holes in the subpanel as shown in Figure H-2.

NOTES:

1. WHEN A SUB-PANEL IS CREATED FOR USE IN A BOLSTER, TO SUSTAIN ADEQUATE VISIBILITY, IT IS IMPORTANT
TO MAKE THE CUT-OUT ON THE BOLSTER LARGER THAN THE SUB-PANEL SURFACE AREA. THIS WILL CREATE A
DRAFT ANGLE IN THE FIBERGLASS CLOSEOUT PART. ACTUAL PHYSICAL SIZE OF THE CUT-OUT WILL DEPEND UPON
VARIOUS COCKPIT FACTORS, PRIMARILY WHAT OTHER DEVICES ARE ADJACENT TO THE SELECTED LOCATION AND
THE DEPTH DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE SUB-PANEL AND BOLSTER.
